Bill Lee: “This amendment completes the half-baked task performed by the House of Representatives on these subsidies. Now…”

On the recordJune 30, 2025
This amendment completes the half-baked task performed by the House of Representatives on these subsidies. Now, remember, the ``green new scam'' was adopted in 2022 without a single Republican vote. Not one Republican in the House, not one Republican in the Senate voted for the ``green new scam'' subsidies. This language would complete the circle of repeal on these subsidies by echoing exactly what the House of Representatives did. We can save more money for the American taxpayer if we adopt this. Not one Republican voted for it. Not one Republican should oppose this. I implore all within the sound of my voice to adopt this amendment, save the American people money, and allow for the American energy revolution to begin.

It’s a tragedy, and it’s deeply disturbing that that has happened in this state. The people deserve better than that.
