Ted Cruz Introduces Bill To ‘Restore American En

Americans have witnessed the danger and incompetence of Joe Biden and the Democrats who have effectively shut down America’s energy independence.

The Democrats’ plan to rely on Russian oil was a very, very bad idea. Gas prices hit a 31-year high under Joe Biden, according to USA Today.

Biden made the disastrous decision to stop the XL Keystone pipeline, stop the flow of existing pipelines, and prevent drilling on federal lands. As gas prices soared, he desperately blamed gas and oil companies of engaging in “illegal conduct” that is responsible for “costing families at the pump.”

A fired Keystone XL pipeline contractor told Fox News, “I’m not surprised at all. Because everything that Biden’s touched or done — it’s a failure.”

As Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, America quickly learned how dependent the U.S. is on Russian oil. Imports from Russia reached record levels in U.S. under Joe Biden. The U.S. imports as much as 600,000 barrels per day.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is taking matters into his own hands by introducing a bill to “restore American energy independence.”

Cruz announced the bill, called the Energy Freedom Act, will reverse Biden’s actions that have caused America to lose our “status as a net petroleum exporter.”

Biden’s energy sector executive orders “have poured billions of dollars into countries such as Russia and Iran, which use those funds to attack our allies and undermine the national security of America,” Cruz said/

“President Biden has imposed more restrictions on U.S. oil companies than he has on Russian oil,” the senator continued.


“With Iran, he has looked the other way as the regime busted through sanctions and raised their exports to more than one million barrels per day for the first time in almost three years.”
