Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) has submitted an amendment to the fiscal year 2023 Energy and Water Appropriations bill to prohibit President Biden from releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until the executive orders blocking energy development on federal land are revoked.

Rep. Budd said in a statement:
“The current energy crisis has been caused by the Biden administration’s blocking development of American fuel sources. Instead of using our emergency oil reserves, President Biden must reverse his radical environmentalist agenda and pursue an ‘all of the above’ strategy that gets us back to American energy dominance.”
