“Electricity, one in six families are behind on their bills. Gas prices are $1.66 higher in this administration. Energy prices are six times higher than last year in Germany which just banned fracking and phased out nuclear which is a telltale warning for where we are heading. They are nationalizing their gas companies. Germans are stockpiling wood to heat their homes. Madam Speaker, you never met a set of policies that you could possibly imagine where you could do more to undermine and damage your own country than the policies that this administration and the colleagues on the other side of aisle are adopting. So the question is: Will my GOP colleagues, will my Republican colleagues give $14.1 billion to the Department of the Interior to continue to lease fewer Federal acres for oil and gas? Will we do that? Will we give $9 billion to an EPA that is imposing a methane fee and taxes on the oil and gas industry that will be crippling my friend's constituents, my constituents, and every American across the country, or the EPA that is targeting the largest U.S. oil field or proposing rules to shut down half of Texas' coal-fired plants? They want to weaken our grid even further while also giving $10 billion for Federal wind subsidies that are destroying our grid. That is the question. How about $5 million for climate czar John Kerry to fly around in his private jet talking about how great he is advancing a Green New Deal agenda? That is the reality.…”
