You are creating an energy crisis for the future, not just for right now as a result of future supply.

I appreciate your answer. It is not answering the question, though.

It is disgusting, what they are doing. Jimmy Carter, over 100 times more energy production than under this Administration.

It is remarkable to watch folks doubling and tripling down on policies that harm our environment, our economic conditions of families, and our energy and national security.

You have no idea what you are talking about. I am sorry, but you don't.

As the United States has led the world in reducing emissions, for every 1 ton we have reduced China has increased by 5.

By the way, the largest increase in energy sources in Bangladesh--in fact, not even close--is gas.

What you should actually be doing if you care about the environment, you should be asking that U.S. energy be exported.

Mr. Slocum, I appreciate your answers, and I am glad that you went down to Cameron Parish.

There is an increase projected to be a global increase in oil and gas demand.

His first text back was--and I will just use the abbreviation, because I would hate to say this word--but 'BS.' He then came back and said, 'That is stupid.'

It is completely unrealistic what you are saying.

I thank Chairman Graves and Chairman Rouzer for working on this legislation. Mr. Chair, the reality is that America has been wrapped in a bureaucratic morass. We have been wrapped in red tape. It is impossible to do things like build…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 8, strike lines 15 and 16, and insert the following: ``(B) Limitation.--A general permit issued under…

First of all, Mr. Chairman, after listening to the gentleman from Florida, I would like a double dose of whatever he is taking. Secondly, Mr. Chairman, what our amendment does is, it addresses something that I think both Conservatives and…

I listened to the gentlewoman's response, and I guess I am confused. First of all, this amendment does absolutely nothing to affect public participation. It does nothing. It does nothing to affect local input. This amendment does apply to…

Wow. Well, thank you. That is amazing.

OK, I certainly would appreciate that, if we could continue the dialogue.

There are big differences between the Gulf Coast and the West Coast. The habitat for our fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico is the energy infrastructure.

Doesn't it seem so much strange or ironic that states like Alabama, as well as efforts in Louisiana, money is being spent to create artificial reefs whenever at the same time we are effectively removing them?

I want to be crystal clear on this. This is our habitat. This is our reef structure.

It is a percentage, yet this bill tries to come in and create a level playing field, create certainty, and create economic conditions that make sense. My friends are sitting here saying: Oh, Big Oil is profiting. They are profiting because…

I have sat in this Chamber, and I have listened to folks debate and raise concerns and problems about the legislation that is before us right now. I have heard people talking about how this is extreme, about how it is a gift to oil and gas…

I thank the gentleman from Minnesota for yielding. Mr. Speaker, $9,600, that is how much the average American household is paying today in the higher cost of living in the United States as a direct result of policies of the Biden…

Let me be clear. Big oil wants rigs to reef as the rule in every case, not because they have some newfound love of marine life or biodiversity. They want to save money.
