This is not about politics today. It is about our national resources; it is about opening a door to our national parks.

Democrats, we are authorizing 500,000 work permits so people can get on their feet and support themselves.

If we are serious about addressing this issue, we need to also make sure that we are opening and allowing people to be documented.

We cannot sustain it anymore. All of our hotels, any available housing are full.

But the American people know that security will come when we create an equitable, clean energy economy that puts families and communities first, and ends our reliance on a global extractive industry.

As it stands, nearly a quarter of the United States' current carbon pollution comes from fossil fuel production on federal lands and waters.

I want to ask about some of the downstream effects of developing something like the Willow Project, which many Americans were disappointed to see moving forward.

President Biden has set a goal to reduce greenhouse emissions by at least 50 percent, and achieve zero carbon electric power in our system by 2035.

Of course, many of us were disappointed to see the Administration approve the Willow Project, which will have significant impacts on the climate and on essential ecosystems.

I was wondering if you could tell us more about what BLM is doing to ramp down emissions from public lands.

What do you make of this argument that we can simply drill our way to lower gas prices, that we can just drill, and drill, and extract, and extract on Federal and public lands, and somehow that is going to lower our fossil fuel prices?
