Following a recent Energy Tour in Montana, led by Rep. Matt Rosendale, Rep. Eli Crane issued a statement emphasizing the importance of championing American energy and expressing concern over the current administration's approach to energy policy.

Crane highlighted the role that domestic energy producers play in the country's economy and national security. He criticized the Biden Administration for what he perceived as a "war on American energy," stating, "Today, we're witnessing the Biden Administration wage a war on American energy, keeping much of it imprisoned underground to the advantage of our adversaries."

Crane further argued that the administration's actions have severe consequences, including a negative impact on the economy and job losses. He expressed disappointment in the administration's lack of focus on advancing American energy interests, saying, "Our federal government should be advancing American energy interests, not aiding and abetting our adversaries by handing them a win."

Highlighting the issue of dependence on foreign energy, Crane criticized the current administration's approach, stating, "Our dependence on foreign energy is a disgraceful indicator of this Administration's sabotage of America's security and prosperity."

Crane concluded his statement by expressing gratitude to the energy producers he and other representatives had met during the Energy Tour. He urged every member of the Biden Administration to witness firsthand the success of American energy and the benefits of energy independence. He stated, "Every member of the Biden Admin should see, firsthand, what they actively undermine each and every day by continuing to sabotage our energy producers."

Rep. Eli Crane's statement underscores the concerns of some lawmakers regarding the Biden Administration's approach to American energy. The tour in Montana served as an opportunity for representatives to witness the success of domestic energy production and to emphasize the importance of energy independence for the country's security and prosperity.
