Those communities that powered our nation to greatness are now the biggest economic losers in this energy transition.

We are going to continue to fight to make sure that they can confirm----

You are trying to implement a Bill you never passed. This is not the BBB, this is the IRA.

The complication is, that this administration doesn't want anything that comes out of the ground. I am fighting them tooth and nail.

We must be on the right track. But you all, every hub to agree said, it is no longer commercially viable if you do what you are doing.

I will do the amicus brief on their behalf and we will show you exactly how we wrote the Bill, the intent of the Bill.

This absolutely allows China in the market and staying in the market for the entire extent of the IRA.

We cannot, basically, provide all the components for a transportation mode.

We wanted it to be with Free Trade Agreement countries. We wanted not to be relying on China.

You have cut everything in half, everything in half. It makes no sense.

We would not be relying on unreliable supply chains, especially four countries of concern: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

The Bill was very much written so that we would bring America back, bring manufacturing back to America.

Sanctions under the Trump Administration worked, but they are not working now because this administration has deliberately relaxed enforcement.

Sanctions only work when they are enforced.

President Biden, however, has abandoned the Maximum Pressure strategy, under the Biden administration, Iran's revenue from exports of oil products has risen to over $100 billion.

American energy production is keeping gas prices down and helping our European allies weaken their dependence on Vladimir Putin, something we should be championing.

I was glad to see that the final Rule avoided the inclusion of Scope 3 requirements, which could have required small and even private companies far down the supply chain to face burdensome compliance costs.

Those communities that powered our nation to greatness are now the biggest economic losers in this energy transition, and they deserve to be first in line for reinvestment.

You are trying to implement a Bill you never passed. This is not the BBB, this is the IRA.

Sanctions only work when they are enforced.

Let me be clear--this bonus wasn't intended to sweeten the deal for the struggling offshore wind industry, it was intended to help communities like mine in West Virginia that have been left behind.

We are going to continue to fight to make sure that they can confirm----

Just implement, write the rules the way the Bill was intended to write, we wrote it.

I have been raising absolutely 'holy Cain' from day one.

We wanted it to be with Free Trade Agreement countries. We wanted not to be relying on China.
