That's unacceptable, and it's why I've introduced the UNSHACKLE Act.

We need to unshackle American industry so that new and diverse energy sources can help create a more resilient energy future.

I think it's extremely irresponsible. I think there's a lot of radical climate alarmist and ideologues driving this, and I think it's going to ruin the greatest economy in the world.

Geothermal sources are effectively renewable, they're not emitting things. They're not emitting carbon into the atmosphere. They're not polluting the atmosphere. The same cannot be said of oil and gas drilling. Is that correct?

The most near term resources for geothermal are all in the west and overlap significantly with Federal lands.

We will sink that bill unless we have an agreement on this larger spending plan because you promised us, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, that this dual track was going to go together.

I think deregulation to help upstart businesses can be bipartisan.

I attribute the state's resilience and continued economic prosperity to its business-friendly policies and its strong communities, families, and social ties, this is a concept we refer to as 'social capital.'

I applaud President Biden for looking at the issue of occupational licensing.

The chief business of the American people is business.

So, I think airports are something that again could be a bipartisan reform area.

The REINS Act would give Americans an important check on costly Federal regulation by helping to hold Executive Branch agencies accountable.

We need to have a real conversation about whether this technology actually works the way that we think it does.

We do need more transparency and more oversight, specifically with facial recognition technology and its use by law enforcement.

We can't separate those tools.

This bill was written and held by the devil himself. This bill wouldn`t make it easier to vote, this would make it easier to vote illegally. This is the corrupt politicians act. If there`s any chance this becomes law, it would be…

Shouldn't we worry that that will negatively impact the carbon sequestration of our forests?
