My amendment is similar to the others that I have proposed. It prohibits funding for the American Climate Corps that the Biden administration recently established through an executive order. Thank God it is not binding after his administration is gone. The Biden administration describes the American Climate Corps as a workforce training and service initiative for careers in the clean energy and climate reliance economy. The corps will focus on equity and environmental justice. Instead of funding Democrats woke climate agenda, why don't you focus on a pro-growth agenda that spurs the economy and prioritizes American energy independence? Imagine if this administration reversed course and instead of buying it from OPEC countries that hate America, maybe buying it from our country where we have a 100-year supply, if not more, and become energy independent. I am in the construction business. I haven't seen too many trucks that operate on batteries. When I get on a plane, I don't see too many airplanes flying on batteries or solar panels, much less the batteries that are made predominantly in China, which is a country that doesn't like us. I urge passage of my amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
