Doubling down on fossil fuels does not make Americans, nor the world, more secure.

I encourage BLM to listen to the 92% of stakeholders who support their rule.

The idea that if you make a mess, you should be responsible for cleaning it up is not something that's hard to understand.

Representative Boebert's so-called 'Restoring American Energy Dominance Act' has only one goal: furthering Big Oil's dominance over our public lands.

The Sinkhole Mapping Act is a straightforward, commonsense move to study and map sinkhole risk in the United States.

I encourage the inclusion of additional resources for BLM and the Forest Service in these bills to ensure they have the staff needed.

Rather than fund agencies for adequate environmental review, let's undercut our bedrock environmental laws and give handouts to private industry.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: a quarter of this country's carbon pollution comes from fossil fuel development on federal lands and waters.

It is long past time we change this.

I today urge this committee to reject H.R. 6009, and its effort to proscribe BLM's rulemaking authority and shortchange American taxpayers for decades to come.

I would seek unanimous consent to submit to the record a reporting from Vox around the Louisiana wildfires.

We could craft actual uniform rules, instead of delegating to an industry trade group to create those rules and to the operator themselves.

And these decommissioning and coastal restoration jobs can help bridge the gap as we stand up the offshore wind industry in the Gulf, which offshore oil and gas workers are particularly well equipped to take up.

So, we can start the process of spurring an enormous amount of job creation just by enforcing and demanding the cleanup of these 18,000 miles of pipeline, correct?

That is staggering. When we are talking about just job creation in general, the job development of this industry has been plummeting.

Do you believe that there is sufficient government oversight on offshore worker safety?

Americans are still at the whim of the global market when it comes to energy prices here at home.

Production in the Gulf of Mexico is at an all-time high.

It is essential that we begin to phase out fossil fuel extraction from Federal lands and waters.

Big Oil does not need more handouts.

Much of the Republican case and evidence has relied on words from Hunter Biden.

This is an embarrassment, an embarrassment to the time and people of this country.

We are wasting our time.

The impeachment inquiry, any impeachment inquiry, regardless of party, is an extremely serious matter.

That screenshot of what appeared to be a text message was a fabricated image.
