Congressman Hal Rogers
Somersetâs Congressman Hal Rogers, along with other House Republicans, has called out President Joe Biden for his âjob-killing executive orders on Americaâs oil and gas industries.â
In a letter to the President released on Wednesday, Rogers and the Republicans in the House expressed their strong opposition to Bidenâs decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline â a move that Rogers says will cause thousands to lose their jobs during a pandemic.
The letter specifically targets the Presidentâs action on January 27 titled, âExecutive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,â which places an indefinite moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and water.

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) Three Wyoming lawmakers in Washington have proposed legislation to block the Biden administration from ordering a moratorium on new federal leases to energy companies.
Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso and Republican Rep. Liz Cheney introduced the three bills on Thursday in response to an executive order issued by President Joe Biden a day before, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.
Biden issued the order on Wednesday, directing the Interior Department to stop providing new federal leases to oil and gas companies to provide the agencies with time to conduct “a comprehensive review and reconsideration.”
