CEOs of Three Major Oil Companies Refuse to Participate in Democrats’ Sham Hearings in US House

The CEOs of three major oil companies refused to testify in a Democrat sham hearing in the House.

The CEOs of three major oil companies won’t join the Democrat circus in destroying America. The Washington Examiner reported:

The CEOs of three major oil companies have refused to testify in a hearing aimed at stabilizing U.S. gas prices amid the war in Ukraine, drawing the ire of Democrats.

House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva of Arizona took aim at the chief executives of EOG Resources, Devon Energy Corporation, and Occidental Petroleum for declining to appear at the committee’s hearing, which had been scheduled for April 5.

Due to their refusal to appear, the Democrat said, the hearing “will not go forward.”

“As rising gas prices started hurting Americans, fossil fuel industry trade groups and their allies in Congress wasted no time placing blame on the Biden administration and pushing for a drilling free-for-all. But when you look at oil companies’ record profits, these claims don’t add up,” Grijalva said in a statement.

“I invited these companies to come before the Committee and make their case, but apparently they don’t think it’s worth defending,” he added. “Their silence tells us all we need to know — that cries for more drilling and looser regulations are nothing more than another age-old attempt to line their own pockets.”

We already did this back in the 70s :rolleyes:

Seriously. Greenie Gov't slames all sorts of restrictions on oil, they respond by cutting back. Then gov't wants oil companies to re-open because of oil shortage, and give up profits to lower costs. The oil companies told Carter to shove it up his ass.

While the government wants to point fingers at "Big Oil", it isn't oil companies taxing the Hell out of gas/oil. How about: instead of dropping the tax until mid-terms are over (not obvious :rolleyes:), they drop the Fed and state taxes altogether?

Private corporations are "for profit businesses. The government isn't supposed to be. The government isn't supposed to be destroying our economy as a whole either, but it is.
