The benefits that clean American energy, reliable, affordable energy, has on health benefits are too numerous to even get into in a discussion here today. It saves lives not just in providing energy and heat but in providing the many materials that are made from oil and gas in the United States. Even the Obama administration's EPA found that fracking has no ``widespread systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States.'' No evidence has arisen that the practice is dangerous, and to say anything else is simply fear-mongering and pandering to the radical left that would rather rely on Iran, Russia, and Venezuela for energy. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Stauber).
