“Madam Speaker, where there is an abundance of energy, there is prosperity. Energy made in America creates jobs, lowers energy costs for American families and small businesses, and enhances our national security. Unfortunately, the Biden administration is working overtime to undo all the progress made during the previous administration towards energy independence. They have banned new oil and gas leases on public lands and cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline--killing thousands of American jobs and increasing our Nation's dependence on foreign countries. Now, the liberals in Congress hope to pass their $4.3 trillion tax and spend spree that includes their radical new tax on natural gas. Natural gas, by the way, is the primary reason why carbon emissions today are substantially lower. This extreme partisan provision will not only decimate American energy, but it will kill thousands of good-paying jobs, burden families with higher utility costs, and make the United States more dependent on our adversaries, whose economies produce dramatically more carbon than the United States. While President Biden promised not to raise taxes on middle-class American families, this assault on fossil fuels breaks his promise in the form of higher energy costs on families who are already feeling the impacts of sky-rocketing inflation. The Colonial Pipeline cybersecurity attack that took place earlier this year underscores the need to invest in a more robust and secure energy future.…”
