While running for Congress, Third District Congressman Jeff Duncan made a big deal about energy issues. To get a better understanding of how these issues are affecting his constitutents, Duncan pumped gas in Laurens yesterday:

As part of the event, Duncan pointed out that the House passed three bills intended to ease gas prices by increasing energy production in the United States. He also challenged the Obama administration to take more action to increase domestic energy production after they approved the renewal of just seven of 52 offshore drilling which had been issued before last year's Gulf oil spill, pointing out that "actions speak louder than words".
