"Since President Biden's first day in office, he has made clear that he favors foreign oil over American energy. That means higher prices here at home, fewer jobs for Americans, and more money for our adversaries. With the release of today's five-year offshore leasing schedule, Biden is surrendering our nation's energy independence. America is one of the cleanest, most responsible, and most efficient producers of oil and natural gas in the world. It's a disgrace that the Biden Administration refuses to acknowledge that simple truth."
