Innovation Rules at ARPA-E Energy Summit Conference
Senate Could Consider Bill to Rein In OPEC+ After Midterms
October 25, 2022
by Dan McCue
WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee last week advanced a bill intended to rein in the power of OPEC+ after the oil producer group led by Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed to dramatically cut their output.
That means if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., agrees, the legislation could be debated during the already packed lame-duck session after Congress returns to Washington on Nov. 14.
The so-called No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act was passed by the Judiciary panel by a 17-4 vote in May.
It is intended to protect U.S. consumers and businesses from organized spikes in the price of oil and gas by revoking the oil producers’ sovereign immunity and thereby exposing them to antitrust lawsuits in U.S. federal courts.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, a sponsor of the bill, had previously attempted to attach it to the annual defense policy bill, but that effort failed.
