Back to the Bushes
President Joe Biden's actions against the oil and gas industry, including his cancelation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, have caused a "chilling effect" among the nation's energy workers, as well as on the industry, and legal remedies will be sought, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush said Wednesday.
"For us, an industry that employs over 400,000 Texans and on average pays over $120,000, this is a lifeblood of our economy," Bush on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "We're going to leverage every legal remedy available to the state in finding standing to seek remedy in our federal court system, just as we did during the Obama administration, as Texas has successfully fought back federal overreach over the generations."
Bush's comments come as Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said Wednesday he and attorneys general from several other states are reviewing their legal options to "protect our residents and sovereign interests."
