Republicans and industry executives say Biden administration policies are preventing the nation’s oil and gas producers from going full throttle and expanding exports, which they say will lower costs for consumers in the United States and make global energy supplies cleaner and more secure.

With Republicans regaining the House majority after the November 2022 midterm elections, GOP leadership is charting a 180-degree reversal in energy policy from the one carved by Democrats over the past four years that saw concerns about climate change, environmental protection, and renewable power pushed as “green energy” emphases.
