Bill Johnson actually said...

"Unemployed Americans don't need wasteful green energy projects and top-down mandates. They need jobs, the kind of good-paying jobs that come with energy dominance."

"If the legislation we are discussing today was to become law, thousands of men and women I represent, millions across our nation, will be forced to take a significant pay cut."

"The CLEAN Future Act doesn't hide its bias against fossil fuels."

"The shutdown of these industries would mean the loss of thousands of good-paying blue-collar jobs that would be replaced with vague promises of lower-paying green jobs in far-off places."
