I see my time's expired. Thank you.

I think we need to make decisions also with respect to the United States contribution, again relative to the rest of the world including China and other much larger polluters, and much bigger problems.

These reforms shouldn't be a partisan issue.

I reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Utah has the right to close.

We must liberate our energy sector. We must reduce regulatory barriers to developing nuclear, hydro, geothermal and other forms of energy.

Our country needs to modernize the way we generate, transmit and distribute electricity.

It makes no sense that it is disfavored relative to oil and gas.

the most near term resources for geothermal are all in the west and overlap significantly with Federal lands.

The answer is not to spend billions of Federal taxpayer dollars to electrify every American home and business.

I think it's extremely irresponsible. I think there's a lot of radical climate alarmist and ideologues driving this, and I think it's going to ruin the greatest economy in the world.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make transformative investments in our energy economy--investments that will protect our planet, help keep our communities healthy, and promote shared prosperity.

As we rebuild after the pandemic, we must liberate our energy sector.

I think it's a fool's errand to try to radically transform the greatest economy in the world and have this in a way that picks winners and losers.

Ultimately, the best energy future is one that allows the American people to innovate.

That's unacceptable, and it's why I've introduced the UNSHACKLE Act.

We need to unshackle American industry so that new and diverse energy sources can help create a more resilient energy future.

So let me get this straight. We've given more favorable NEPA regulatory treatment to oil and gas drilling on Federal lands, than we have to geothermal drilling on Federal land?

I want to make sure that certain actions are not undertaken that could end up inhibiting bidding.
