Last week, during a telephone townhall, a woman in my district asked what Congress was planning to do about the cost of her fuel bills. She could no longer afford to heat her home, and she has been forced to use a wood stove just to maintain a normal temperature in her home. The temperature in my hometown in Altoona, Pennsylvania, tomorrow night will be 1 degree Fahrenheit. For months, we have warned of constituents being unable to heat their homes when truly cold nights come this winter. And guess what, now they are here, and the Biden administration has still refused to act. President Biden has refused to slash red tape and get pipelines and liquid natural gas facilities online that could address these soaring energy prices. That is why we need to enact in Congress our Commitment to America and return not only to energy independence but to energy dominance. We as Republicans will cut through government regulation. We will work to solve permitting reform, and we will finally bring the change that makes it possible to utilize the energy sources that are under the feet of my constituents. ____________________
