Today, we are discussing three bills, all relating to the Critical Minerals List maintained by USGS.

And we want to keep it that way. Right, Mr. Chairman?

And I think it is also important to understand the United States' role in the global copper supply.

This definition, however, drives billions of dollars in Federal investment.

we want to see more renewable energy, but we want to do it in a responsible, efficient, and environmentally sound way

we would be creating a loophole to make copper eligible for Federal support.

There are other ways to provide the food that we all agree we need and we want, maybe without playing around with the list in question.

Thank you for the question. Everyone is trying to forecast demand, and to get it right.

The Biden administration is investing historic amounts of money in recycling and reuse.

This list is a tool that helps decisionmakers prioritize government actions and investments.

And when we see clear evidence that these fossil fuel interests are colluding with OPEC to screw American consumers and rig the global price of oil, and Democrats try to do something about it on a bipartisan basis, we hear crickets from…

In fact, we have a moment here where you have a chance to choose between the American people and consumers, and protecting them from high gas prices or your friends at Big Oil.

It is a little rich when the Chair lectures you about good faith. And you should just know that when that term is used around here, it has a coded meaning.

At a time when you are talking about record production, record exports, record profits, we continue to hear this rhetoric about the Biden administration declaring a war on oil and gas.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Dr. Spinrad, I believe you did the right thing by moving forward, as you said, with alacrity to begin protecting the North Atlantic right whale in the face of an imminent extinction threat.

Certainly, managing our natural resources to protect wildlife and habitat, clean water, clean air, healthy environments...

I feel like, by passing a bill that doesn't do nearly enough to acknowledge this, much less do anything about it, we are sleepwalking further into the climate crisis and further and further into tragedies and disasters.

I think there is too much fossil fuel business as usual in this country, certainly in this conversation about continuing to build out this system that is, frankly, a disaster waiting to happen every day.

We have a process problem. Last week, the Rules Committee issued a notice for amendment submission for this bill, and 16 amendments were submitted: 12 from Democrats, 4 from Republicans. We really should be having an open, robust, and…

I am prepared to close as well and yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, obviously, I oppose this bill. We have massive wildfires, prolonged droughts, stronger hurricanes, and coastal flooding. All across this country, our…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 214, noes 199, answered ``present'' 2, not voting 14, as follows: [Roll…

I thank the gentleman from Washington for his refreshingly rare vote for Ukraine military aid and also the chairman, Mr. Westerman, for joining Democrats in that very important vote in the interests of our national security. I think, as we…

I thank the gentlewoman from New Mexico for yielding, and I thank her for also actually reading the bill. Sometimes the truth matters in these debates. We have to take many things with a grain of salt. We have been lectured about national…

I do appreciate my colleague's love of tennis, our mutual love of tennis and his sense of humor. I have less appreciation when he draws tortured analogies to international sanctions and national security issues. It is just hard to take…

I would also point out that if our friends across the aisle are so concerned with American energy bills, you would think they would at some point say no to the LNG export extravaganza that all serious economic analysis shows is driving up…
