I would say the only science that went into this decision by Fish and Wildlife was political science. It is all about this administration's attack on American energy. People all around the world are going to die as a result of food shortages from this administration's attack on natural gas. Natural gas is the main ingredient in fertilizer, and fertilizer is the main ingredient in agriculture. These are serious problems that have huge impacts to society. That is why it is important that we push back on these ridiculous rules that the administration makes. Do you think we enjoy coming out on the House floor and speaking about prairie-chickens and bats? Not necessarily, but when an administration uses that for a weapon against the energy production in this country, then somebody has to speak out against it and has to speak out for the rural communities and the workers across this country. {time} 1230
