“Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of similarities on both sides of the aisle, but there is a big difference. The similarities are that I think both sides of the aisle support geothermal energy. It is similar that we talk about inflation and high costs and how that affects Americans. The difference is, on this side of the aisle we actually pass policies that will help those things. On the other side of the aisle, they vote against those policies. We talk about the high cost of living. Republicans voted to give Americans a huge tax cut last year. All the Democrats voted against it. We talk about high healthcare costs. Republicans voted to send $50 billion to help with rural healthcare. All Democrats voted against it. Today, we are talking about geothermal energy and the opportunities that are there. We have an opportunity to help make that happen more. Republicans are supporting it. I believe some Democrats will actually support this legislation, but there is a difference between saying you want something to happen and actually voting to make it happen.”
