I am proud to introduce the bipartisan Alaska's Right to Produce Act of 2023, which reverses the Biden administration's recent actions that seek to put an end to oil and gas production in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, ANWR, and the…

Thank you very much. Our next witness is Mr. Karlin Itchoak.

When Congress writes legislation and it becomes a law, it is not a recommendation or a feeling to follow the law.

This is overreach, Mr. Chair, by our federal government, in every aspect of our lives, complete overreach, and it is unacceptable.

the government wants to be in every part of our lives--ceiling fans, dishwashers, water heaters, light bulbs. It is unbelievable.

$31,000 these bureaucrats put on somebody that wants to build a new home, not through Congress, through these three-letter agencies, unaccountable, nonelected, to put on the American people.

These standards are designed to reduce energy consumption in our homes and businesses. However, they have had the unintended consequence of making our homes less affordable and more expensive to 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: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

What this amendment does is that it allows American energy, American prosperity, American technology, and American workers to provide energy and critical minerals, transmission projects, highway and bridge projects, dams and rivers. This…

I think my colleagues on the other side of the aisle don't understand this. This administration just last month removed NEPA for the Floyd Bennett Field to host migrants. The Biden administration completely took NEPA off the table for…

This Administration has continuously put-up obstacles. In fact, in the last 3 years... they have put forth $320 billion of additional rules and regulations.

This America-last mentality being pushed by this Administration must stop, or else we risk our energy security.

H.R. 2855, the Sinkhole Mapping Act, introduced by Representative Soto, would direct the U.S. Geological Survey to study the short- and long-term effects of sinkholes.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration has set an anywhere-but-America, any-worker-but-American energy policy.

the proposed final National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, which has arrived 457 days late, and contains the fewest offshore lease sales in the program's history.

Today, the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee will examine the Biden administration's unprecedented obstruction of the BOEM offshore leasing program.

Even so, congressional Democrats want to ban fracking, prohibit offshore development, and curtail feasible solutions to high fuel prices.

The actions and delays by the Biden administration... have put our nation's energy security and economic prosperity at risk.

My colleague from the other side of the aisle just talked about electric vehicles and how clean they are. Well, let me ask you something. Why would you mine those critical minerals, Mr. Chair, in a foreign adversarial land under zero…

I rise again in support of my amendment and ask my colleagues to do the same, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

My constituents would have to work a full year to pay for this unreliable car and would barely have enough left over to care for their family.

It's unbelievable that you chose other workers over the American worker, and it's unbelievable that you and your administration won't allow mining here in Minnesota and the United States.

Do you think that it's fair for your administration to force constituents to purchase these electric vehicles when they're not working in especially northern Minnesota?
