The House of Representatives passed a bill along party lines Thursday that seeks to lower gas prices by cracking down on alleged price gouging by energy companies.
The House vote was 217-207: no Republican supported the bill, suggesting it's likely headed for failure in the Senate.
The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act would grant the president authority to issue emergency energy proclamations and make it illegal to increase gas and energy prices in excessive and exploitative ways. It would also expand the Federal Trade Commission's power to investigate and address possible price gouging by oil and gas companies.

"Biden suspends oil and gas leasing in slew of executive actions on climate change"
"Biden’s orders direct the secretary of the Interior Department to halt new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters, and begin a thorough review of existing permits for fossil fuel development."
"Biden cancelled the permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline"
Nothing to see here, move along

Do you still give your employees who don't support Trump all the crap jobs?

@MarineBob So especially if it is illegal, you want your employees to do as they are told or go home, correct?

@windinhishair well the government needed the money so I did my part to help out
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@MarineBob No. You willingly broke the law to save money like a piece of trash, and you expect and demand that your employees do the same, or they won't be working for you. Your lack of character is obvious.

Why are you so dead set against alternative renewable fuels? Do you hate the planet?
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire why hasn't the president ordered an ev for the presidential limo
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@MarineBob The hypocrisy of the president of the United States has nothing to do with the fact that alternative fuels are needed.

@MarineBob Nothing more to say, huh?
