On the recordJuly 18, 2018
Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the amendment. It would prohibit funds from being used to advance guidance or make rules that rely on Obama-era social cost of carbon guidance. I have heard from folks in Montana who cannot get a permit to expand a coal mine because they didn't account for the carbon released by the trains that would carry the coal. I have heard of the difficulties of building railroad bridges because they might allow more coal to be transported. We must stop relying on metrics that were designed by the keep-it-in- the-ground crowd. Similar language passed, on a bipartisan vote, here in the House last September. I urge adoption of the amendment. Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
