From The Epoch Times: Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Feb. 28 vowed to introduce legislation that will reopen energy production in the United States “full throttle” as the cost of oil continues to skyrocket amid record inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Announcing the legislation, dubbed The American Energy Independence Act of 2022, Hawley said on Twitter that the bill will “reverse President Biden’s shutdown of the American energy sector and return American energy to full production.”
“Tomorrow, I will introduce legislation in the Senate to reopen American energy production full throttle and reverse Joe Biden’s disastrous capitulation to our enemies,” Hawley said.
The bill comes as oil prices surged above the $100 per barrel mark on Feb. 23 after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a televised address that a military operation was set to get underway in Ukraine. The last time the price of oil rose over $100 per barrel was in 2014.
Meanwhile, gas and energy prices have steadily been rising in the United States where total domestic gasoline stocks have declined and demand for gas has increased, with experts warning that Americans could face more pain ahead at gasoline pumps…
Amid concerns over prices that look set to increase further, Hawley says his bill will ensure that the United States achieves “full energy independence and low energy costs for its citizens” and makes such a move an official policy.
It would also “instruct federal agencies to identify and rescind existing regulations that have the effect of reducing American energy independence,” and prohibit new rules that reduce energy security or raise energy prices, as well as direct agencies to work towards achieving “energy independence” by 2024.
The bill also proposes defunding contributions by the United States to any provisions of the Paris Climate Agreement, easing regulatory burdens on energy companies involved in fracking, and lowering the “social cost of carbon” to $0 per ton to focus government standards on boosting domestic energy production as opposed to prioritizing the U.N.’s climate change goals.
Finally, it would “rescind the Biden Administration’s moratorium on oil and natural gas leases on public lands,” and restore the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline that runs between Canada and the United States after it was canceled by the Biden Administration last year, citing predicted impacts of climate change.
“The Biden Administration’s energy priorities are completely backwards and now working Americans are paying the price,” Hawley said in a statement. “The United States cannot afford to be energy dependent on our enemies. We must reopen domestic energy production full throttle, restore our energy independence, and reverse this policy of American energy surrender.”

I am in total support of Senator Hawley’s ideas. I will be fasting and praying for America’s energy independence tomorrow. all day. God bless you, Senator Hawley. May God bless all of your efforts.
Lynda Gigliotti
I’ve been watching Senator Hawley for a long time. His heart is set upon Jesus and the American people. If he says he’s going to do something, he does it. When he gives his word, you can count on it. He has proven himself. So now God has given him a great opportunity for America’s energy independence. Think he’ll pour himself into it? Yes, most definitely.
Thank You Father.
Senator Hawley is truly a leader and he has the best interest of his constituents in mind. In other words, he is a true representative. A servant of the people.
I agree with Hawley. Depending on other countries for fuel , especially Russia, is dangerous. I’m not sure about pipeline either. Not sure I’m fully informed about all of it.
GREAT IDEAS but very challenging to pass with Biden, Harris, and Pelosi on the scene. That said: the only chance for victory is the hand of God involved. I pray God will provide the victory and keep his hand upon Josh Hawley to be intuitive of God’s will and instrumental in the ways God would choose to use Mr. Hawley.
I’m praying you will succeed to make America totally Energy
Independent again! It’s “insanity” that we would pay our enemies to kill us & our allies. You’re called for such a time as
this! God Bless You & God Bless America!
Absolutely wonderful…. I pray it passes.
Father please favor Senator Hawley in the passing of this bill that he is proposing. In Jesus’
name. Amen
These are the warriors that God has chosen to fight in this battle in this season. Let the entire nation see the brilliance and necessity of such legislation and let nothing hinder it being passed by Congress. Prayers for strength, perseverance, and wisdom.
We back Sen. Hawley 150%. I would encourage “everyone in agreement” that supports this to do one very important follow up – contact your senators and tell them that you agree with this common sense policy and that since that senator “works for you, that you both expectand demand” that they support this common sense legislation “as it is written”. (Also please let Sen. Hawley know that you support him by email or phone) Also let your senators know you WILL hold them accountable for any ‘lack of support ‘ or ‘attempted changes’ to this legislation. We have to challenge our government officials vigorously and we MUST hold them accountable. This is also part of being “salt”.
You then can please share this with others on a wide scale.
Please get actively involved not only in prayer but “actions”.
Thank you for standing for America, I have supported you financially and in prayer. Keep speaking the Truth. Truth and binding the agenda of the Racial, compromised left side to be stopped in Jesus name. Jesus is our source to win battles. My fave scriptures Phil: 4:13 We can do all things through Christ Amen🧎♀️🧎♀️You can get this accomplished, yes u can by Faith.
Shalom Senator Josh Hawley, THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU FOR STANDING AND SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF WE THE PEOPLE….THANKYOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH , COURAGE AND UNWAVERING SPIRIT…..GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,….THAT HE PROVIDES FOR YOU EVERYTHING YOU HAVE NEED OF , ALL YOUR DAYS
I’m in total agreement with everything he said! Let’s get America self supporting again in Jesus Holy Name, putting Americans back to WORK! Amen
It’s about time!! Thank you Sen Hawley for working tirelessly on behalf of American working people. You obviously understand the pivotal importance& effect of oil and gas in Russia’s war on Ukraine. Let’s do all we can to decrease Putin’s war chest and provide help for innocent Ukrainians.
Thank you Sen Hawley. America needs energy independence and the Keystone Pipeline reinstated. We need to be free in America . God bless you and God bless America.
Lord I pray for favor on this bill to go through. Please stop the evil plans of the administration that is in White House. Please keep bringing the truth to the light and we truly repent for you to have mercy on America 🇺🇸 and heal our land. Let thy will be done. I ask these in Jesus Name 🙏 🙌 amen.
Praise God for the brave and common sense of Senator Hawley’s bill! Biden’s sanctions on America is treasonous!!
Brilliant! Timely! Righteous! Essential! How do we help back this effort?
I pray that the way is opened for this bill to go through quickly. I ask that all opposition to it be cleared away. I ask that God place an angel guard about him and his family. That God’s will be done!!
Excellent idea! Keystone Pipeline should never have been hut down to begin with!
Thank you for doing what Biden won’t do for America, God bless you and keep you strong!
God bless you Josh Hawley !! May ur effort to make us energy independent succeed completely with more than sufficient support from ur fellow members of Congress. May God suppress to extinction the incorrect Green Deal false belief that’s really a lie. Thank you God in Jesus’s name!! Nan
Thank you!
I’m offering a prayer that Mr Hawley’s bill will pass. It is badly needed.
Thank you Senator Josh Hawley! I am so thankful for someone who will stand up for what is right and for the people of this country! I agree with everyone who said we don’t need to be dependent on anyone for oil especially or enemy. I pray blessings and protection over you, your family, your home and everything you put your hands to.
I am so proud of my MO senator for filing this legislation-God Bless his endeavors !
When Biden shut down the Keystone XL, he said he planned new jobs for the people laid off , to work in the infrastructure jobs that would come with the Build Back Better agenda. Now that that is NOT going forward, what does he have to say to the thousands that lost their jobs with no replacements! I’m sure many have found jobs since the shutdown, because they have to eat, etc But where’s the reckoning on the failed plan? No accountability. I wish someone would ask him some of these things…
Thank you Senator Hawley. I sure hope that bill passes. That would be great.
I pray for you and your family.
Peace and and blessings,
Karen
Why must there be war, this universe is big enough for all mankind to coexist.
Because there are people that I do not know Christ And/or knowingly they turn their back on His message. There are those who not only do not believe in God they are willing servants to great evil and they want your stuff, your life, your soul. For those that believe nothing can separate us from the love of God thru the Holy Spirit in Christ precious name amen.
I am in total agreement with Senator Hawley. I applaud his initiative and hope that the Congress will wake up and back him.
Thank you Senator, finally someone with common sence and enough courage to act, May God grant you full success
I totally agree with Senator Hawley. The U.S. does not need to be dependent on any other country for oil especially RUSSIA.
We also need not to do business with CHINA.
Reopen the pipelines and give people their jobs.
Thank you Senator Hawley for letting the Lord lead you. I pray for you and all of our government leaders regularly.
I thank God for Sen Hawley and pray that the whole nation will support him!!
With 8% of our oil coming from RUSSIA of all places!! Shut it down! Finally, someone in DC speaking and doing something for “WE THE PEOPLE”. This administration and the ruling class world elites are killing our spirit, our economy and our way of life. Thank you Senator Hawley! My prayers for you & the success of this legislation to help the lower and middle classes of America. We don’t need or want a great reset! SP

We all agree in Jesus’ name for The American Energy Independence Act of 2022 to pass in both Houses and make our nation energy independent again and able to export energy to other nations too. Amen!
I believe I’m not the only one thinking this is the right course to take TODAY! Put people back to work and bring oil prices down to reality. Even though our dependence on Russian oil is 3% or less, when we have the ability to use domestic products, it is in OUR best interest to do so. Thank you Sen Hawley!
Congress must wake up. We need to stop the purchase of oil from Russia. We must restore our energy independence. I just called my rep in congress and made my plea. All reading this please do the same and then pray like you have never prayed before.
Thank you Sen Hawley for the bill and it’s move to reinstate energy independence for America-also allowing possible export source for US Allies to move from supporting a regime that seeks destruction and suppression of democracy! Every GOP Senator should support you and patriotic Dems- who have backbone to stand against political backlash of defective voting from left. My electric bill has risen $200-300 using close to same amount 2
years ago. Couple that with double food bills – as a retiree caring for 2 special needs adult family members and it’s tough. I remember 13% interest rates with Carter incompetent administration! Thank you again and we pray that this bill will gather support!!!
AMEN… AMEN… AMEN!!! If my electric bill continues to climb, I don’t know how I’ll pay it. It has more than doubled in less than a year. They have added a power cost adjustment each month to our electric bill which doubled beginning in Jan of this year. Going from $17 to $19 per month to $32 to $35 per month. I live on a very small fixed income and it seems harder and harder to make ends meet each month. I could not make it at all if I didn’t have the LORD.
💯💯💯
I just read this and so confirmed what I had been just this morning thinking we need to be praying for someone to introduce legislation to open up our pipeline again and make our nation independent again and help other nations . Wish you could have seen my face when I saw this was actually happening. Our Father does confirm our requests in precious ways.
A little common sense goes a long way. The Biden administration is ridiculous and a disaster to America….
Thank God for some common sense in Washington DC! And thank God for Senator Hawley’s bill. The Governor of Alaska announced that Alaska has a rich abondance of oil in their state that they are ready to pump, but the only thing in their way is Biden’s policies. Stop funding our enemies and start being the country God has blessed us to be!
I agree with this bill by Senator Josh Hawley. Pray our congressman can stand together against Biden and his Swamp for the good of our country instead of for the Marxists/ COMMUNIST that are trying to destroy America.
Pray and remember God is in control and we as Christians pray for God’s will to be done!
In Jesus name.
I Completely agree with Senator Hawley! While Biden assists Putin to have access to energy and cut Ours Off is an OUTRAGE! Fuel costs drives everything else even higher. No Right Destroying the American Peoples in such a way!
Thankful to see that such a bill as this has been introduced; may it be quickly approved to become law.
Lord I ask that you bless Senator Hawley’s bill to bring back lower energy prices for everyone. May the evil be silenced and this bill move forward. In your precious name. Amen
Psalm 107:42
The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.
We need more people with common sense in our leadership. Thank you, Sen. Hawley, for standing up and fighting for this country. The administration that controls Biden is ruining this country.
Thank you LORD!! for giving senator Hawley the vision and courage to address this destructive oil issue. Biden has done a great disservice to our great nation by closing our oil pipeline, leaving us vulnerable to the world. Thank you for answering the many prayers for our nation. LORD we need your help and wisdom on how to address the many challenges the US is facing today. thank you for your love and blessings. Thank you for the many mercies you bring to us each day.!
We need to be Energy Independent as all costs. Why should we have buy Russian and other forgien oil, when we can produce enough for ourselves. Yes, we have to keep an eye on the enviornment, but our children need to eat. Rising energy prices bring the cost of everything else to a new high.
Dear God, bless Senator Hawley as he brings legislation to Senate to reopen American energy production and reverse Joe Biden’s legislation that brought disaster to our Natiin. We pray the Senate will be in full agreement with Sen. Hawley and push this bill thru.
Praying this bill will pass, thank you senator Josh Hawley for introducing the bill!
I pray for this bill sen Josh Haley introduced “The American Energy Independence Act of 2022” will pass 💯 and this bill would become law and go into effect immediately.
Thank you Jesus for this bill will reverse pres Biden’s shutdown of the American energy and return American energy to full production.
Thank you Lord this bill also proposes defunding contributions by the US to any of the Paris Agreement,
easing regulatory involving fracking and the lowering the “social cost of Carbon to $0 per ton, and open domestic production full throttle, restore our energy independence and reverse this policy America energy surrendered.
We thank you in advance for You hear our hearts and cry out for your Justice and Mercy on America. Open eyes and hearts to accomplish Your will for this nation.
We blow the shofar, the battle has begun and we win because the battle belongs to the Lord of Hosts. Amen 🙏
Sen. Harley is right on This is the only way that we the USA can reverse the predicament we find ourselves in and would also deliver a lethal blow to the Russian aggression over Ukrain.
To rely on other countries for something we have in abundance is nonsensical. To thereby give these countries and their leaders control over our peace and prosperity is just wrong (criminal?).
God please help this bill to pass. Give our leaders wisdom to see the how their decisions have long range consequences for good or bad.
That is exactly what we need !!!! Support you and the new bill 100%
Great work Mr. Hawley – we agree 100%! Godspeed!
I am in agreement with Senator Hawley 100%. The pipelines must be opened and our energy supply be brought back to where it was before President Biden came into office.
Bill Sherfy
Finally someone has a brain. We could have been energy independent long ago if not for legislators
Excellent proposal, praying you get more people in agreement with all of this!!
Agree 100%!!!
Hawley understands and sees what it is going on and is turning us in the right direction. Biden’s policies have emboldened and enriched our enemies and led to the current crises that we are seeing.
Thsnk you, Senator Hawley. I pray God speed and His nlessong on your work.
We applaud Josh Hawley for his love for the good of this country. We are grateful that he shows true leadership in introducing the bill that will make us energy dependant again.
Biden has “broken” everything that was fixed and our energy independence is just one example of this. When he took office we were exporting oil and now we are importing it from our enemies – which is never a good position to be in – not to mention all the people he put out of work when he closed our pipeline giving us unemployment and higher gas prices for all, which mean higher prices on products in the stores, which are transported by trucks which need fuel. There was no upside to closing the pipeline, none. Climate change is the big lie that holds us all hostage. Truth there would set us all free. Prayers for Josh Hawley to be courageous in persevering with this legislation which would set some things right and help us to no longer depend on our enemies for energy. Continued prayers for God to raise up brave, Godly leaders who will do what is right in God’s eyes, no matter what the “establishment” in DC says. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
Thank You Senator!!
Right on! Praying Sen. Hawley’s Bill succeeds.
I agree wholeheartedly with Sen. Hawley. Why we didn’t remain energy- independent is a true crime and shame. Biden is such a knucklehead, whose main goal is to destroy America from within. I would say that he is succeding in his efforts to do so. We need , as a nation, to take our country back from the Globalists, who control Biden, and are behind ruining our nation. We need to be crying out to Almighty God for His favor in saving our nation from ruin.
Yes ,one hundred percent
All in for this
May god bless him abundantly to turn this world around with god as our savior. Somebody in the senate can see the light.
Senator Hawley is spot on. May God rattle the Senate & Congress to thier senses and expedite this bill into law.
Father, Mighty Warrior, Dressed for Battle, Holy Lord, Our True Commander and Chief, Bring us to Attention as we scurry into place, Lead us into Battle, for You gave won our Victory!
Why would it take until 2924 to become energy independent? We were there in 2020.
2024 is preferred. We need a changing of the guard in state & federal government as well as POTUS, beginning in mid term elections this year. There is more to the story than Oil.
At last! Senator Hawley, you are a beacon of light in this darkness and the voice of logic and reason! At last someone who has the courage to use his influence to care about us Americans . We are staggering under the weight of this appalling issue. We need hope . I pray for swift results .
Thank God for a leader willing to stand up on this issue!! Fully support it!
I am in complete support and agreement with Senator Hawley. I pray for overwhelming favor in both houses of Congress, in Jesus’ Name!
The oil and gas production should never have been shut down.
Heavenly Father please give overwhelming favor to Senator Hawley’s energy bill. It is not only crucial for the United States of America, but for the rest of the world as they seek energy supply independent of Russia. Please bring Democrats and Republicans together, who love our country and it’s people to support this bill snd pass it easily with favor. In Jesus’s name I pray. Amen
I agree wholeheartedly with Senator Josh Hawley’s proposal. President Trump was right about this and many other things. The Biden Regime is anti American and likely broke contract law when they halted the KeyStone pipeline. Undoing the pipeline contracts was an attack on American both locally and nationally. I pray the Keystone XL pipeline is reinstated!
Fully agree. We were energy independent during Trump. Now with the war between Russia and Ukraine we really need to be and to be able to supply parts of the world that depends on Russia for oil.
Lord, I pray that Senator Hawley’s bill would find overwhelming bipartisan support in both the senate and the house and all means to provide energy independence would fully restored and open so we can again return as the leader in energy for the world not the consumer only,……Jesus, we need your hand in this like never before – In Jesus mighty name, Amen
I agree 100 percent. These are self inflicted wounds shutting down gas and oil production. Why would you want to be dependent on your enemy for oil and gas when you have it in your own country. Drill , drill, drill.
Pray rhat the Senate will endorse this bill & not be hung up in committee
I find Senator Hawley’s idea to be an answer to prayer! Thank you, Senator Hawley! Thank you, Lord! I will continue to stand with you in prayer.
It’s about time someone took a stand for our energy independence. Now prayer must not only be for legislation to pass through halls of Congress and but for prayer that President Biden would sign off and not veto it.
Thank you Senator Hawkey for being concerned about our homeland and the American People. We pray your Article is accepted by all our law makers up on the hill. It is time to consider the our Homeland first. Thank You
I agree with Senator Hawley. We need to regain our independence with our own oil production.
This is amazing! I pray the favor of God on Senator Hawley and this bill. May the Lord bless it. May America be energy independent. In Jesus mighty Name
God provided us with great natural resources and His command from the beginning of the creation of man was to steward and use wisely His material gifts. We’re importing 600 million barrels of oil from Russia while sanctioning. This policy is evil and insane. Praise God for Senator Hawley..
following Trumps plans, think about where we were in years 2016 – 2020. we can be there again if we eliminate the current communist Biden regime. wake up people and be ready to have fair and honest elections run in 2022 and 2024 ( i’m saying this to even those people in America who have fallen for the lies of the fake news media concerning the 2020 election ) anyone who does’t want voter ID is against America
I agree 100%!!! We need the pipeline opened again and fuel supplies restored. Why would we want to be dependent on countries leaders who only want our demise?
So happy to see someone stand up for what needs to be done!! Praise God for senator Hawley’s willingness to stand up and do what is in the best interest of all people.Thank you heavenly father for putting this conviction in his heart!
Great!
