The single strongest way we can send a message to the PRC... is to pass robust, bipartisan, and on-time, full-year Appropriations' bills.

I worry that what is being proposed leads to a lost decade for America in a moment when we cannot afford it.

As the superpower of the world, we are reliant on China, Russia, and other foreign adversaries for far too many of our energy needs.

Unfortunately, at every turn, this administration has made it clear that they care more about getting EVs on the road than they do about the energy security of this nation.

We will defend democracy wherever people seek it.

We are setting ourselves up to lose the 21st century to China.

This is the only support or involvement that we have been with a war that is the most just cause I have ever seen.

We cannot continue to let China get away with laundering solar energy components through other nations with absolutely no consequences.

It is our shared goal that we work together to have a productive relationship with China.

These numbers are alarming and should be a wake-up call that if we throw caution to the wind and move too quickly toward EVs without strengthening our domestic supply chain, we will be forced to rely on China for decades to come.

When things get tough, man, you have got to depend on someone, it is going to be the U.S. or ain't nobody coming.

We cannot close our eyes or plug our ears when it comes to the threat the Chinese government poses.

We cannot change the values of other countries that do not have our same values.

We have to show there is a bipartisan vision to strengthen our Nation's competitiveness and security by investing in American leadership across the board.

To outcompete the People's Republic of China (PRC), we need bold domestic investments and innovation ecosystems that bring manufacturing in critical technologies and industries back to the United States.

The administration failed properly to secure our southern border.

There is an overwhelming bipartisan recognition that our current permitting system is not working.

We can't let the perfect--or the politics--be the enemy of the good and continue to live with an outdated permitting process.

It takes decades to permit a new mine. It is a failure, and it is setting us up to rely on countries who are hostile to our way of life.

We are going to figure out what is a bipartisan bill that all of us can agree on and come out of this Committee.

North Dakotans should not be forced to pay for transmission lines that simply benefit other states and not North Dakota as well.

We desperately need to get permitting reform done for our country to maintain its status as the leader of the free world.

We are intending to get this bill and have a bill on the floor before we have a recess this summer.

We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

we support the series of proposals that have kind of anchored the House and Senate legislation, Senators Manchin, Barrasso, Capito
