U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has criticized the Biden Administration's left-wing climate policy, accusing them of putting radical activists in charge of American energy policy. McConnell claims that the administration's policies have led to high gas prices and increased costs of natural gas, home heating, gasoline, fuel oil, and electricity. He specifically points out that the Biden Administration has hindered domestic oil and gas drilling and reduced offshore lease sales.

McConnell argues that the Biden Administration's climate agenda favors coastal elites and relies on the greenest practices of blue states. He also expresses concerns about the President's choice to promote Joseph Goffman, a key figure in the administration's war on affordable American energy, to a senior role at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). McConnell highlights that Goffman has been instrumental in implementing the administration's aggressive EPA policies, despite the U.S. Supreme Court's previous criticism of the agency for acting outside its authority.

According to McConnell, Goffman's tenure at the EPA has resulted in the loss of over half of the nation's coal jobs. McConnell further criticizes Goffman's support for electric vehicles, arguing that it kills American jobs and benefits foreign adversaries. McConnell concludes by urging his colleagues to vote against Goffman's nomination, stating that he is the wrong person to deserve a promotion at the EPA.
