.SteveScalise: “ESG hurts blue-collar workers the hardest because it takes money out of their retirement accounts.”
Scalise said Biden has launched an “all-out attack on American energy” since he first became president, which includes canceling the Keystone XL pipeline and blocking more permits for oil and gas leasing.
Scalise said Biden “unleashed the weight of every federal agency against energy producers through these radical programs like ESG, where you’re getting the financial regulators to try to discourage people from loaning money to energy projects.”RELATED: Sen.

“If you’re a worker, a blue-collar worker who just wants to retire and enjoy the highest yield from your 401 so that you can have the best retirement possible, then you should be able to have confidence that when you’re investing your retirement funds that the government is helping encourage you to get the highest rate of return, not the lowest rate of return,” Scalise explained. “And ESG hurts blue-collar workers the hardest because it takes money out of their retirement accounts.
Scalise said that House Republicans will continue to investigate federal agencies and departments that harm Americans by increasing energy prices. He said, “We’re gonna be investigating all of these policies that are hurting families, and making it harder to make things in America. Because our country runs on energy. And, if we’re not making it here in America, we just need to go get it from other countries. And some of those countries don’t like us. Most of them don’t have the good environmental standards we already have.
