fossil fuels are going to be with us as far as the eye can see.

Thank you, Ms. Kronenberg.

Mr. Speaker, I have been at the border. I have seen the sadness and faint hope in the faces of the children seeking asylum. Imagine the desperation a mother must feel sending a child across a treacherous path to seek asylum in the United…

the idea that we can get rid of fossil fuels together is just a myth.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, we are very hopeful that in 2, 3 years we will have the buildout, but we do not have it now, and there is the need to get that telehealth funding now.

shifting manufacturing and energy production offshore where there are more lenient rules for production is not helping.

Food security is very important and fossil fuels are needed for fertilizers.

Telehealth is literally a lifeline to allowing those folks to stay in their communities.

It's a little strange to see people lecturing about the evils of carbon emissions on planes, and then flying their own jets.

Is displacing American energy-intensive manufacturing and sending it to China, does that help the environment at all?

Well, I look forward to the fact that we are going to hit September and you are going to know you have the money on October 1.

we in the Majority, the Democrats during the last Congress, passed the most significant infrastructure and climate action bills ever in the history of the United States, including the Inflation Reduction Act, which is really aimed at…

the science is telling us and the latest report from the IPCC has indicated that if we do not take climate action now, our planet is facing a major nexus in terms of potential planetary disaster.

I very much appreciate that. I think that's significant evidence to the importance of these programs and especially in a rural school district, not just in New Mexico but throughout America.

I think it's absolutely something that should be expanded.

Through these programs, none of our schools or hospitals, including those in the most rural communities across the country, should be left behind.

We made it abundantly clear that every household, every health care center, every school, every community institution, and every business in the country should have access to high-quality affordable broadband service.

the oil and gas industry is not struggling in the United States, and certainly that is not what is driving prices at the pump, as our colleagues across the aisle would like to have us believe.
