Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 2, 2023
The Biden administration has been quite focused on destroying the American energy industry. This entire insane focus on allegedly protecting a species of whale in the Gulf of Mexico has been used by the Biden administration to attempt to deeply restrict oil and gas actions in the Gulf of Mexico. Whales, Mr. Chair. They wanted to stop vessels from moving at night. They wanted to stop vessels from moving over 10 knots. It is insane. Americans are struggling. Inflation is crushing us. The American energy industry should be unleashed, not oppressed. I rise in support of Representative Graves' amendment, and I urge all Members to support this amendment in support of an American energy industry that should be dominant worldwide.
