I think this has been so illuminating in so many ways and I feel so optimistic.

I know that I am standing between you and freedom, and perhaps your lunch.

Absolutely. No, I get that, that the overlapping nature of some of our previous technological revolutions or disruptions did leave--they left whole communities behind.

Imagine decision-making being a muscle that atrophies.

I wish sometimes they would just come out and be honest, and instead of saying we are doing this in the name of conservation, say we just don't like oil and gas, and we want to shut down oil and gas, if they would just be honest about that.

This fluid mineral leasing rule is further proof that Joe Biden is using every tool in his Administration to dismantle American energy production.

These additional fees, as you know, will ultimately harm returns and reduce revenues to state and local governments by disincentivizing development on our Federal lands.

This is clearly another tactic from the Biden administration to de-incentivize domestic energy production.

Reducing American oil and gas production only drives demand and profits to countries like Iran and Russia. This is insanity.

From Day 1 of his administration, Joe Biden has declared an all-out war on American energy production and exploration.

The hypocrisy with which the Biden administration approaches energy production on public lands must be addressed.
