WASHINGTON, March 21 -- Rep. Jared Huffman, D-California, issued the following news release:
The House on Wednesday passed two bills promoting oil and gas drilling: one that would support fracking and another that would lower costs to drill on public lands.
The bills are a part of the GOP's "energy week." While Republicans said the effort was meant to highlight "the value of American energy," most Democrats dismissed the proceedings as unserious.
