I will remind my colleagues that these protections are meant to prevent environmental disasters. We see all across the country radioactive water spills, water crises, chemical pollutants seeping into groundwater and poisoning communities. These catastrophes are not just tragic, they are preventable. It is the American people, especially marginalized communities, who are left with the consequences. We can make bipartisan strides to protect American energy and security. We can promote innovation without sacrificing our environment or State and Tribal rights. Unfortunately, this is not what the majority has brought to us. I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Missouri has 13 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 14 minutes remaining.
