WASHINGTON, March 6 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama is standing in the way of an energy revolution that could help address U.S. economic woes, U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash said.
Hastings, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said that, in light of budget cuts known as sequestration, one of the best ways to raise money without raising taxes is through energy production.
