Senator Barrasso: ‘The American People Face a Potential Energy Crisis of this Administration’s Own Making’

U.S. Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, spoke about a potential energy crisis at a full committee hearing to examine the president’s budget request for the Department of Energy for Fiscal Year 2022. Senator Barrasso said energy is called the master resource for a reason- it powers our nation, military, and economy. He said America has the world’s largest energy resources, however bad policies are creating blackouts and energy shortages, and increasing dependence on foreign adversaries.
Barrasso talked about how the country became more energy self-sufficient after the energy crisis of the mid 1970s.
The full committee hearing was held to examine the Biden administration’s budget and priorities for the Department of Energy. The hearing also featured testimony from U.S. Secretary Jennifer Granholm.

Democracy out the door,attack on Capital,consistent lies and coverups from a failed White House 2017-2020, energy jobs were disappearing before Biden ever took over. Some cant see the forest for the trees.
