WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources (ENR), issued the following statement regarding President Biden’s climate announcement.

“President Biden is out of touch with the American people. Families need energy that is affordable and reliable,” said Barrasso. “Instead of taking action to ease the pain at the pump, the president doubled down today on his extreme climate agenda. This will only push energy prices higher. American families are being crushed by President Biden’s historic inflation and high energy prices. He refuses to do the one thing that would help: unleashing American energy production.”
