Political Quotes

my friend from Wyoming and I disagree on many things. We disagree on the impact of this policy in the immediate, and we disagree on the speed of the energy transition to a zero-carbon economy. What we do not disagree about is that these communities we support-- we support their schools, and throughout this transition we should support the people who have kept the lights on and made this country the greatest energy country on the face of the Earth. So I would support this amendment because it is about supporting the schools in those communities. Vote on Amendment No. 653 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on the amendment.
