Brief Executive Summary
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform examines the Obama Administration's energy policies which have been scrutinized for not aligning with President Obama's rhetoric of supporting an inclusive "all-of-the-above" energy strategy. While the President advocated for maximizing all domestic energy sources, including traditional and renewable ones, his administration's actions have favored expensive and harder-to-obtain energy over readily available domestic resources. This report investigates the administration's deviation from an "all-of-the-above" approach by focusing on regulatory hindrances.
