the proposed tailpipe emissions standard is driving us further towards China dependence.

The concerns we raise today are directly from the people that we represent, and we're concerned by the EPA's regulatory agenda.

I want clean and safe water in Washington State. It's vital, it's life.

Now, regarding the subjects we'll cover today, they're best described as an EPA regulatory onslaught.

This is not what the EPA is designed to do.

America has the highest environmental labor standards in the world, and Energy and Commerce Republicans are committed to this legacy.

Consequently, reliability of our Nation's electric grid is at risk, as many more of those plants will be prematurely shut down due to a litany of EPA regulations that take reliable energy off the grid with no plan for replacement.

The EPA doesn't need more money. Its regulatory agenda is out of touch with the needs of the American people.

Yes, Republicans do care about the climate and the environment.

These actions place substantial financial burdens on Americans that lower their standard of living.

Time and again, by its own admission, we've seen this administration first choose a policy goal, like forcing consumers to purchase all-electric cars, whether practical and affordable or not, shutting down oil and gas production, or…

In 2019 an estimated 1.3 million deaths globally were a direct result of drug resistance.

This outbreak strain has never been reported in the United States prior to this outbreak.

More than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur in the United States each year, resulting in more than 35,000 deaths.

I look forward to today's hearing as we continue to explore the increasing burden and threat of AMR facing our Nation and world.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Americans think their data privacy is being protected, and yet there's many examples where it actually is not.

We need legislation like ours that protects children from having their information harvested.

This administration's goal is 100 percent wind and solar and 100 percent EVs. This is a radical and an aggressive agenda that rewards environmental special interests at the expense of reliable, affordable, and clean energy for the American…

And I want to emphasize America has led the world in reducing carbon emissions with clean, reliable, affordable energy, while having the highest environmental and labor standards in the world, and that is the record we want to build upon.
