Lawmakers made clear that Congress will continue investigating Big Oil’s price gouging and climate deception. They also vowed to advance legislation cracking down on the industry’s anti-consumer practices and ensuring a rapid transition to clean energy.

I mean, that's nice and all, but talk is cheap, and this has been a problem for a long time, it's not a recent thing. Be nice if they actually took some action, rather than just talked about it.
