And opening one a week. Do you know how many coal-fired plants we are opening in this country? Zippo. Do you know what kind of rules we have coming out right now to hammer the coal industry in Texas and elsewhere? Massive rules. Do you know what that means for the American people? No energy, lower energy, higher costs. That is 100 percent true and provable. Yet, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle walk around in some daze saying, oh, we are going to get this magic unicorn energy from wind and solar on a windless, cloudy day. It is absolutely absurd. The American people are suffering. The American people are suffering because of the Democratic policies that are causing harm to them, driving up prices, making it impossible for them to have a reliable grid, reliable energy. We are sitting on a mountain of it in this country. We are exporting liquified natural gas from this country. CO<INF>2</INF> is going down. We are not relying on China. We are sticking it back on them, and our people are benefiting and prospering. The Democrat agenda is: stop that. Go beg China. And then pay more for your goods and services. Then what does Joe Biden say? What does Jen Psaki say in all of her infinite wisdom heading off to MSNBC after she accuses our Border Patrol agents of whipping people? She says: ``Oh, buy a Tesla.'' Go spend $60,000 and go buy an electric car. Do you know what?…
