Unfortunately, many of our energy policies coming out of the Biden administration prioritize climate goals over reliable and affordable energy.

American energy production and reducing emissions are not mutually exclusive.

I think personally that it escaped from the lab, it wasn't natural.

A government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.

Yes, that is spot on.

America became the global leader in crude oil and natural gas production while also leading the world in emission reductions.

It is time to flip the switch, unleash American energy production, and achieve American energy dominance.

Unfortunately, Democrats and President Biden's regressive energy agenda takes a whole-of-government approach to phase out the oil and gas industry, and that is just wrong.

For the last 2 years, the Biden administration has failed to take meaningful steps to address energy production.

The United States needs energy policies that make energy more affordable for Americans, not more expensive. That is the bottom line.

You have been a champion of expanding all forms of American energy, and I looked forward to working with you.

The amendment violates clause 7 of rule XVI of the Rules of the House because it is not germane to the underlying bill. It fails the tests for subject matter and fundamental purpose. The amendment opens up new statutes and topics…

Recollection serves me that you guys on that side of the aisle blocked an amendment or a bill that Republicans put up during the Trump administration that actually made this very point, to allow President Trump to buy oil at a low price…

This amendment seeks to delay the operation of the bill pending an unregulated contingency. Let me just say this: I was on the Natural Resources Committee for a while, and I think the person in the chair was on that committee, as well. I…

I reserve a point of order against the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. The gentleman from New Jersey is recognized for 5 minutes.

I wish to speak on the point of order. This is absolutely germane. It is the same subject, and it meets all the rules. Mr. Chairman, I support the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order…

Once again, this amendment would further allow the President to abuse the SPR by draining it without declaring a national emergency under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, giving him the ability to once again use the SPR for…

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Members of Congress are standing on this floor talking about buy low, sell high. I look back two Congresses ago during the Trump administration, and the Republicans stood on this floor…

The Democrats try to paint this picture that rising energy costs was Putin's war, Putin's gas hikes. I had to do some research. The gentleman from North Carolina tried to make this all about the war in Ukraine, the reason the President did…

The Biden policies are causing inflation across this country and not allowing America to come roaring back after the pandemic. The first thing he did was stop oil and gas production in this country--ended leases, stopped Federal…

This amendment will prohibit the leasing plan from including a whole new swath of Federal lands. This is a solution in search of a problem because many of these areas are already protected. I went through the list. I don't see any that…

The education of my colleagues continues. A plan? The administration in violation of the law that requires a 5-year drilling plan on OCS. I was on the MMS 5-year OCS drilling study committee. I know what the law is. The administration…

I insist on the point of order. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his point of order.

This is just another distraction and delay tactic, nothing more than a stunt. The Secretary of Energy had culpability in drawing down the SPR to lower gas prices just before a midterm election. She would certainly delay the implementation…

I reserve a point of order. The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. The gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.
