Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Railroad Commission chairman Wayne Christian asked President Joe Biden to “get out of the way” and “give the green light” respectively, so Texas oil can lead the way.
“Texas can drill enough oil and natural gas to keep prices low here in America and in Europe if Biden would get out of the way,” Abbott tweeted on Feb. 24 as the war in Ukraine ramped up, and Russian oil slowly became a target for sanctions by the United States and its Western allies.
