On the recordMarch 28, 2023
I thank the gentleman for yielding. H.R. 1 will unleash domestic energy production and reverse the Biden- led Democrat assault on American energy. Democrat punitive policies have led to record-high gas prices, limited supply, and unrelenting inflation. Folks back home in Michigan are yearning for leadership that has been sorely lacking in Washington these past couple of years. H.R. 1 will streamline permitting, open up new markets to export natural gas, and repeal billions in inflationary Green New Deal giveaways. H.R. 1 will also protect the land we live on, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. Of great importance to me and my constituents is the provision continuing the longstanding ban on drilling in our Great Lakes. As the Representative for the district with the longest shoreline in the lower 48 States, including three of the five Great Lakes, I will continue to fight and defend our Great Lakes for future generations. As we talk energy, I live in the middle of copper country. As this board shows, we need to control for our future the precious metals necessary for what we do.
