92 percent of Americans, 92 percent have said that they don't want to import foreign oil, that they don't want to bring in oil from Russia.

We are going to have a 50-percent global increase in demand for energy.

The only administration in modern history that has not had a single lease sale for onshore or offshore energy in the United States.

We have seen a reduction of over $1 billion in revenue to the U.S. Treasury that would go to fund the Great American Outdoors Act.

Every single penny of that is derived from offshore energy production in the Gulf of Mexico.

The release of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, our emergency reserves, are actually to mitigate for bad energy policy.

We are making cuts to a budget, to defense, to crime, where we should be making increases.

The values have to go along with knowing what is going on in our country, knowing what is going on in our world.

It seems like the majority party is always fond of declaring almost anything that they want to see happen a right

So basically, what you are talking about is the difficulty in navigating the Federal Government and agencies within the Federal Government.

What has it resulted in, this failed policy of this Administration? Higher prices, higher emissions, and energy insecurity.

This is inter-generational theft. We have got to stop this.

I can't believe we are actually having a hearing to talk about doing away with the debt limit.

This is ridiculous that we have this kind of debt in our country. And it is not sustainable.

Look, we all want the same thing, but how we get there is I think where we differ.

We know that our economy is electrifying more and more, and, as a result of that, we have to have both generating capacity and grid capacity, and we have to increase that significantly.

We all agree that we need to modernize our grid. Everybody here; we disagree on how we do it, but we all agree we need to modernize it.

Georgia is the number one forestry State in the nation, and I am very proud of that.

We can't sit here and have rational discussions or move in the direction of rational policy where we are saying the same thing--energy access improvements, energy affordability improvements, lower emissions--whenever the facts that are…

We have seen examples where the State of California is choosing to shut down nuclear power plants and then the next day sending a letter asking for waivers on Clean Air Act emissions so they can emit more because they are going to go from…

But we have got to have a strategy that is actually global looking in nature, and one that truly achieves the objectives, not one that just thrusts costs on the United States taxpayers and makes energy unaffordable, and doesn't achieve…

President Biden's energy plan is going to result in higher electricity prices, higher prices at the gas pump, lost revenue sharing for hurricane protection, flood control, and coastal restoration, higher delivery costs, meaning delivery of…

Simply put, we need to ensure that our communities are becoming more resilient in the face of these storms.

Finally, Madam Chair, there was a report out of the Senate Democrats--excuse me--the Senate Democrats' committee that--Climate Committee that said that the policies that Democrats are pushing are going to increase cost of energy.

The President of the United States has put a pause on domestic energy production that a court had to step in and say you can't do this, there is a thing called the law.
