By Josh Israel -March 8, 2022 2:57 PM
Every Republican senator voted against President Joe Biden's plan to invest $555 billion in clean energy and combating climate change.
Senate Republicans are touting their plan for American "energy independence" as their solution to higher oil and gas prices while demanding the United States revive the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline project to import tar sands oil from Canada.
Gasoline prices which dipped to $1.80 in some places during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown have been rising steadily since the U.S. economy started to rebound in the fall of 2020 and demand has risen. In the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and President Joe Biden's decision to halt the import of Russian oil in response, gas prices have soared to more than $4 per gallon.
Republican lawmakers, who were already blaming Biden for the price increase, seized on the news to demand unfettered fossil fuel drilling in the United States.

And what is really classic is that she and the other nimrods supporting this BS didn't think the election was fair, and that she and the nimrods kept a traitor in office that was blackmailing Ukraine, and finally the tar sands are only good for diesel truck, because of the higher sulfur content that causes more pollution......why hasn't she been expelled....I look up everyday and see the sun and wonder why our homes are not solar and wind power our cars can't get electric fast enough because of people like this vile Blackburn.....support oligarchs and war....for oil.....

I thought at the time that this oil was mainly going to be refined and exported.
