New York Post (6/7/24) reports: "Republican governors on Monday announced a plan to 'unleash American energy.' They also called on President Joe Biden to protect U.S. energy security after they say his administration has taken more than 200 actions against the oil and natural gas industry. The governors unveiled their plan in front of a the PBF Energy Chalmette Refinery on the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, led by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. 'American energy has done more than any other industry to lift more people out of poverty globally than any other industry that I’ve known of,' Landry said. He said governors know the needs of Americans more than anyone else. 'What we hear from our constituents is that inflation is eating into the pockets of Americans. One of the greatest drivers of that inflation is energy,' Landry said. 'The reason that inflation is out of control is because of the federal government. If the federal government took its foot off of the neck of American energy, we could absolutely lower the cost of everyday goods.' The Louisiana governor listed actions the president took 'attacking the industry' from his first day in office, including pausing new oil and gas leases, cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, prioritizing foreign energy over domestic energy, and releasing agency 'rules and regulations at a neck-breaking speed,' that hurt Americans’ pocket books and prioritize 'government regulations over free market solutions.'"
