These recent geothermal energy breakthroughs, I think, offer really exciting opportunities to develop clean and always available energy in communities that have previously hosted fossil fuel development.

I think repurposing fossil fuel infrastructure to make clean energy instead seems like a win-win for everyone involved.

COVID opened our eyes to the advantages of telework. We can't and shouldn't ignore those lessons.

Let's be clear. Telework and remote work works. Workers want it because it makes them more productive and reduces stress by avoiding commutes.

We know now that 2023 was the hottest year on record by a wide margin, and the rate of warming over the past century has no precedent.

We may have the best and safest environmental laws in the world, but they don't mean anything if they are not enforced.

The communities in my district would beg to differ. They still suffer from the impacts of having the largest urban oil field in the country in their backyard.

No one should have to choose between paying their energy bills and essentials like paying for food, child care, health care...

Contrary to the assumptions in H.R. 5482, fossil fuels are not the most cost-effective option for a lot of American bill-payers.

Extreme weather, fueled by global heating, is affecting energy, water, insurance premiums, and food, and housing costs.

The idea of passing any climate legislation this Congress is a fantasy.

Nearly a year into Republican control of the House, and this Committee has yet to have a single hearing on the biggest threat of our time.

China and Russia are exploitatively mining in Africa, and Russia is mining democracy and sovereignty in Ukraine.

Just to remind everyone, 2023 will be the hottest year ever recorded, and not by a small margin.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 705.

Nuiqsut is at ground zero for the industrialization of the Arctic. The people in my village have experienced serious mental and physical health impacts from industrial development.

Despite evacuating its own employees, ConocoPhillips insisted that no one in our village was at risk. This did not make much sense to my people, and around 20 families fled the village in fear for their health and safety.

cutting agency funding, as proposed in their appropriation legislation, won't help.

It sounds important to me, in terms of gathering comprehensive data and information preceding the sales.

Who is benefiting instead?

What I have been reading is that the United States is producing more oil than ever before.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today when there is nothing else going on.

No, ma'am, I do not.

I have to tell you, there is a virus infecting this Congress, and it is not the 'rona. It is Republican testosterone poisoning. All year long, we have heard not one peep from Republicans about Social Security or Medicare--nothing. They…

The oil companies are going to ruin our water. If they ruin the water out here, there won't be anyone left.
