I am happy to support my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who seem to be taking an interest in supporting our homegrown, clean energy economy. Unfortunately, there isn't much else in H.R. 1, the polluters over people act, that will help us shift to the clean energy future that we need to combat the climate crisis. I will also say, I am significantly more concerned about foreign- owned companies buying up oil, gas, and minerals and polluting in the United States without consequence. This amendment aligns with my efforts to increase transparency around who is operating on our lands and my efforts on raising global standards. Let's make sure we have good actors operating on our lands. We owe that much to the American people. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
