USDA plays a critical role in representing the interests of farmers, foresters, and rural communities.

About 3 years is what I understand.

Time and time again, we have seen President Biden abuse executive authority to promote his radical eco-agenda created by academics and social activists.

the average price of gasoline was $3.53 a gallon. That is nearly a full dollar higher than when President Trump left office.

Our businesses, families, our communities, and America deserve better.

the Biden administration continues repeating the same talking points about the need to invest in infrastructure, underserved communities, and social and environmental justice.

The Biden administration has continued on a relentless march towards expansion, particularly by trying to reimagine the energy sector as a puppet of environmental activism.

Let me be absolutely clear. I do not believe that you are responsible for this specific issue.

the price of a new car is a whopping $48,000, and even used car prices average around $26,500.

The left's race to achieve a clean energy standard is simply unsustainable, at least on the timeline that the Biden administration has set forth.

It is interesting that it is not that we went through the environmental permitting process and found out there were problems; you can't even go through the process because it has been usurped by an activist administration.

It might be the Southern. Is it your position that if there is any copper or nickel or cobalt mined in Superior National Forest, that the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is over as we know it today?

Our own regulations are killing us.

Having done engineering work before I came to Congress, when I hear 2.8 years or 2.5 years, that causes people real problems that are actually trying to do projects, to have it delayed that long where you are waiting for permitting.

Judicial review is the biggest wildcard in the current permitting system, and H.R. 1 appropriately recognized it as an area that could have the most meaningful impact toward efficient project deliverability.

Here is an area that could be managed, where the resources can be used, and that is the law.

And that needs to be verified. And we need to apply lessons that have been developed through industry.
