“I appreciate the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) sharing her concerns about my amendment. Every time a Nebraskan farmer wakes up and faces the day, folks on that side of the aisle are looking to shut down confined animal feeding operations. They are looking to different ways to produce meat so that we can't produce what we do in Nebraska, which is the number one beef State in the Nation. There is no trust. There is no trust with the Biden administration and this Department of Energy that our way of life is going to be protected. This amendment should send a clear signal to everybody on the other side of the aisle that the producers that feed the world are ready to fight, to stand up for our industry, and to fight for livestock across this country. This amendment ultimately sends a clear message that it is inappropriate for the Department of Energy to spend taxpayer dollars on lab-grown meat. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
