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.

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

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

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

For all the talk of the 'people's house' that we have been hearing from the other side of the aisle, this bill is anything but.

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

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

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

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

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.
