Why the GOP’s SPR bills are really about Biden

House Republicans passed a messaging bill on Friday intended to limit President Joe Biden’s ability to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And though the bill will likely not make it past the Senate or Biden, the legislation is part of a broader GOP effort to attack the White House’s energy and climate policies. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Kelsey Tamborrino break down the GOP’s messaging effort and what’s next for the House Republican energy agenda. Plus, FERC streamlined environmental reviews for three fossil fuel projects - marking the first decisive move on natural gas infrastructure under acting chair Willie Phillips.   Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Kelsey Tamborrino is a reporter covering clean energy.
