Van Hollen: Have to Be Less Reliant on Oil, Gas ‘Over Time,’ Because Russia Has ‘Important Share’ of Market, Don’t Regret Axing Keystone

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said that he doesn’t regret the shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline, argued that “slower oil and gas production here had nothing to do with President Biden’s policies.” And said that while oil and gas production will continue as they should, “we also need to do what President Biden wants to do, which is, over time, reduce our reliance on oil and gas. Because, obviously, it’s a world market. … Russia has an important share of that.”
