Doc Hastings Discusses Rising Gasoline Prices, Need for American Energy and American Jobs VIDEO

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 8, 2011 - Today, House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04) appeared on Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto to discuss the Committee’s upcoming hearings on rising gasoline prices and the need to limit U.S. dependence on foreign sources by increasing domestic energy production and creating American energy jobs.

“Energy jobs are good-paying jobs, and with the unrest in the Middle East it certainly seems to me from a security standpoint that we should be utilizing more of our resources that we know we have,” said Chairman Hastings. “We should recognize that it is in our best interests to be less dependent on foreign sources, so we need to start that process now.”
