For example, the Washington Republican would likely investigate Biden's so-called war on fossil fuel energy, policies that may have contributed to higher gas prices, and both the nation's reliance on Chinese supply chains and foreign energy sources. In September, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., released the Commitment to America package, a policy blueprint for a majority GOP House. The plan said Republicans would maximize reliable, cleaner, American-made energy, cut the permitting process time in half for energy development, prevent rolling blackouts and lower the cost of gas and utilities.
"Beyond that, we look forward to exploring policies to provide long-term solutions to pressing issues like western drought, improve access to our nation’s public lands, and more," she said.
