Dusty Johnson tweeted the following:

"4These supply shortages have been a long time coming. We havent built a major new refinery since the 1970s. Its almost impossible to permit pipelines & energy infrastructure. No year-round E15. These policies are unwise & a gas tax holiday wont put us back on the right track."

"3The federal gas tax funds roads and bridges. I dont understand why the administration would prefer to rob the highway trust fund instead of actually increasing domestic supply."
