Reps. Scalise, Rouzer: Pipeline cyber attack – shutdown shows where we must invest our energy resources

The ensuing concerns over fuel supply underscore the need to invest in our nation’s critical infrastructure to make a more robust and secure energy future possible. We need more opportunities for reliable energy – not fewer.

As significant a hit as this has been for many on the East Coast, it gives just a glimpse into the importance of diversifying pipelines and the production of oil and gas to America’s energy supply.   Biden’s early actions have only made our nation more fuel insecure, costing Americans in more ways than just the price at the pump. The more places we are producing oil and gas and the more pipelines we have, the better off we are. And the attack also obviously shows just how important cyber security is and how quickly the price of any commodity can change.
