We have to stop this dream world that some people are operating in.

All these people are coming to try to prescribe solutions for us that have no idea what in the world they are talking about.

None of this is based on science. None of this is based upon fact.

The facts clearly show that when you reduce domestic production, you increase your dependence upon foreign sources of energy.

I don't think it is fair to take shots at state-managed fisheries.

But this legislation really doesn't even do that. And I think we all know that.

What would you say to the family members of people in Louisiana that lost loved ones, when your legislation would actually take future investments in the restoration of our coast and the protection of these communities?

It is really embarrassing to continue to see legislation like this that is so offensive to the people that I represent.

Lastly, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank a number of people who were really instrumental in helping us to strike this bipartisan balance: Mike Leonard with the American Sportfishing Association; Cmac, with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation…

I thank my friend from Michigan, and I want to thank Chairman Grijalva and Ranking Member Bishop for their work on this legislation, the DESCEND Act. Mr. Speaker, years ago, the Federal Government tried to tell our communities--all of us…

I thank the gentlewoman from West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Sam Graves for their work on this legislation. Once again, Mr. Speaker, this is a demonstration of bipartisan cooperation, what we…

I don't think you could deploy renewable technologies fast enough

I just think we have to be really thoughtful about the international implications and the affordability and exportability of the solution.

does it make sense to put the country through the economic devastation that these policies would create instead of investing more in adaptation and resilience

it is extremely important to take the regulatory burdens out of the way of building new clean energy as rapidly as possible

Our concern with the resolution is that it actually supports or it embraces an agreement that would result in a net increase in global emissions.

these very outdated notions which cut against climate change and a solution to this problem, that seems just very counterproductive

Ranking Member Graves' BUILDER Act, H.R. 8333, for example, introduced last week, would remove barriers and accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies.

How do you have a business, how do you take care of your family, how can you even live there--as I understand, we have seen a net departure of families from California--if you are having rolling blackouts and brownouts?

Thankfully, just today, the President has issued an executive order related to critical minerals.

How can we provide business certainty and encourage folks to create new small businesses if we are having double the electricity cost in California than they do, for example, in my home state of Louisiana?

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding. Mr. Speaker, let's look at this process. Here we have a bill that was a bipartisan bill, H.R. 4447, that passed out of the committee on a bipartisan vote, and it was eight pages. It was…

I thank my friend from Oregon for yielding. Madam Speaker, first of all, I respond to comments earlier from my friend from New Mexico (Mr. Lujan), who noted that the Congressional Budget Office's score on this bill was zero. Madam Speaker…

I share your frustration with the Corps' rigidity, especially as that dogmatic approach results in negative impacts to ecosystems.

First of all, I want to commend Republicans and Democrats for coming together. This bill is a bipartisan bill. It doesn't mean it is perfect, but it means that we all came together and we worked together to ensure that we are advancing our…
