Democratic members of the Energy and Commerce (E&C) Committee have launched an investigation into potential collusion among oil companies to drive up gas prices. Representative Frank Pallone announced the investigation, emphasizing that if oil companies are manipulating prices, Congress and the American people deserve to know. Senator Chuck Schumer has also expressed support, indicating plans to ask the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute any collusion and price-fixing that may have increased gasoline and energy costs. The investigation seeks to hold oil companies accountable for any corporate greed that forces Americans to pay more at the pump. Additionally, Representative Barragán highlighted the broader impacts of Big Oil's collusion with OPEC on public health and climate, advocating for affordable clean energy and clean air.
Consumers deserve to know the truth about Big Oil's dirty energy price gouging. Chair Westerman needs to let us investigate allegations that US oil execs colluded with OPEC to hike prices & pad company profits at the expense of taxpayers. https://t.co/nIYPTA4eoD
While Big Oil companies take record profits, hardworking Americans are feeling high prices at the pump. Meanwhile, Trump promised Big Oil he’ll gut clean energy investments and jobs in exchange for $1B for his reelection. Democrats will keep working to hold Big Oil accountable. https://t.co/F0pKx9Scwx
Big Oil’s collusion w/OPEC not only harms American’s wallets, but our public health and climate. Proud to join @SenSchumer, @EdMarkey, @RepJoeNeguse, & @RepKamlagerDove to call out this corruption & fight to give Americans access to affordable clean energy & clean air. https://t.co/0kuQzgsGfm
