Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna, an advocate of aggressive climate policies, acknowledged Wednesday that the U.S. must increase domestic oil production in the “short term.”

Khanna, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s environment panel, added that an increase in oil production shouldn’t cut against the nation’s long-term climate goals, Bloomberg reported. President Joe Biden has pledged that the U.S. will have a completely carbon-free power grid by 2035 and that the country will produce net-zero emissions by 2050 while Democratic lawmakers, including Khanna, have pushed even more aggressive actions.
