On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed legislation with strong bipartisan support aimed at preventing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve from being shipped to China. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Ben Lefebvre discuss the legislation’s bipartisan appeal, prospects in the Senate, impact on China, and how it fits into the GOP’s energy priorities in the new Congress. Plus, the Biden administration plans to update offshore renewable energy regulations.
