Bill Johnson

It sounds like duplication to me, and that is costly.

We want your office to be functional and effective for the American people.

It was a good example of the kind of bipartisan work this committee is capable of.

The hypocrisy is glaring on this when we have the gas here and we are trying to put wind turbines offshore.

Energy policy in Europe is a disaster. They are relying on Russian gas, which is dirtier.

I got vilified because I just wanted to treat the wind industry fairly with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Does it concern you that, given what we are seeing in Europe, that the movement to quote 'keep it in the ground' coupled with a rush to renewables could raise energy prices and risk grid reliability here at home in America?

I think the windmill hearing could have waited.

You know, I have to say that I am deeply concerned about the subject of today's hearing.

The pandemic has served as a painful lesson about the importance of creating products, supply chains, and intellectual capital right here at home.

I am very pleased that my legislation, H.R. 5476, the Advancing Tech Startups Act, was included in today's legislative hearing.

You can’t endlessly subcontract the government of your country to other people. There’s got to be a some sort of system.

What I will say about Joe Biden, dealing with the new American president, yes, it is a breath of fresh air, in the sense that there`s some things on which we can really, really work together. And -- you knew I was going to bring it up…

Even U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson got involved, taking the opportunity to tell people to ignore the incorrect info and please get vaxxed.

The number one condition we`re setting for the G7 is they have got a guarantee safe passage for those who want to come out.

The latest in the ongoing saga of world leaders versus umbrellas.

How important it was for the United States to raise the principles of democracy and human rights

Eastern Europe are literally begging us for energy.

We are allowing Vladimir Putin to control the world's natural gas industry, seriously?

I certainly support expanding the exports. In fact, I urge our committee to take up my legislation, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act.

The lifecycle emissions of Russian gas is 41 percent higher than American LNG exports that are delivered to Europe.

With the entrepreneurs that we support and serve, we see that hurdle of hiring the first employee is often one of the largest challenges.

Mr. Johnson, in April, I reintroduced my legislation, H.R. 2680, the Providing Real Opportunities for Growth to Rising Entrepreneurs for sustained success, the Progress Act.

I think the Community Navigator model is promising as a hub and spoken model to connect with SBA resources.

Tax rates are important, as are programs and investments into entrepreneurship ecosystems.
