Mack Energy Corp. Director of Government Affairs Claire Chase argued that the United States is currently facing a “crisis of President Biden’s making” as it pertains to oil and gas.
Referring to a comment she had made earlier during the White House press briefing that the Biden administration was "going to do everything we can" to reduce the prices at the pump, Fox News' Peter Doocy pressed Psaki to clarify why the administration is asking other countries to pump more oil instead of producing more oil at home.
When Psaki claimed federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas domestically, Doocy pointed out that Biden issued an executive order halting new oil production at public plants.Speaking with Cavuto, Chase said that "9,000 leases available is such a misleading number." She went on to say it is "a complicated situation," noting that "we have permits but, we are facing the same issues that other industries are facing, with the supply chain, with labor shortages. So we can all have all the permits in the world, but if we can’t get the casing to protect the groundwater, then we can’t drill.
