The Biden administration reportedly buried a crucial energy study that contradicted its climate policy agenda – and did everything he could to make sure nobody found out. This explosive revelation has sparked a major investigation by House Republicans, who claim the White House deliberately misled the American public to advance its radical Green New Deal ambitions.
At a glance:
• House Republicans are investigating the Biden Administration for allegedly suppressing a study that showed increasing LNG exports would reduce global emissions
• The buried 2023 study directly contradicted the administration’s January 2024 decision to pause LNG export project approvals
• Former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and President Biden announced the LNG freeze while knowing it went against their own department’s findings
• House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Subcommittee Chairman Eric Burlison launched the investigation into Biden’s “detrimental energy policies”
• Republicans claim Biden’s energy agenda has led to historic high gas prices, surging electricity costs, and increased inflation affecting American families
Biden Administration Accused of Hiding Inconvenient Truth
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer and Subcommittee Chairman Eric Burlison have launched a formal investigation into what they call the Biden Administration’s “detrimental energy policies” – and a huge cover-up that came as part of his efforts to implement them.
A new investigation has revealed that the Biden administration deliberately buried a study that contradicted the White House’s decision to block liquefied natural gas export approvals.
According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the Department of Energy completed a study in 2023 showing that increasing U.S. liquefied natural gas exports would actually reduce global emissions. This finding directly challenged the administration’s public stance on LNG exports when it announced a freeze on new approvals in January 2024.
Political Ambitions Over American Energy Security
Republican lawmakers claim the Biden administration intentionally misled the American public to appease climate activists ahead of the election. “The Energy Department has learned that former Secretary Granholm and the Biden White House intentionally buried a lot of data and released a skewed study to discredit the benefits of American LNG,” one DOE source revealed to investigators.
When announcing the LNG export pause, President Biden declared, “During this period, we will take a hard look at the impacts of LNG exports on energy costs, America’s energy security, and our environment. This pause on new LNG approvals sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time.” What Biden failed to mention was that his own department had already conducted such a study.
Former Energy Secretary Granholm similarly claimed that “a business-as-usual approach is neither sustainable nor advisable” while apparently knowing her department’s research suggested otherwise. The committee is now seeking briefings from multiple federal agencies to determine the full extent of this apparent deception.
Economic Impact on American Families
The investigation also highlights the broader economic consequences of Biden’s energy agenda on American consumers. “In 2022, the national average gas price reached a historic high as it soared to more than $5 per gallon. In 2023, residential electricity prices surged by more than six percent, equaling ‘the highest growth registered since the beginning of the century’,” lawmakers noted in their official communication.
Energy policy expert Mandy Gunasekara testified that the administration has taken “over 125 actions aimed at shutting out the use and development of the very energy resources we need more of, not less.” She added that “suppressing domestic supply and setting America on a path towards energy scarcity has exacerbated inflation and made costs skyrocket. Low-income Americans are the hardest hit by high energy prices.”
The committee has expressed support for President Trump’s Executive Orders aimed at reversing Biden’s energy policies, with a focus on implementing “America First” energy strategies to enhance production and affordability.
How did Biden so easily get away with doing so much damage?
