I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the spending reduction account), insert the following: Sec. ___. No funds…
It is now visiting upon other areas and it is exploding across our country. It isn't just affecting one national park, it is affecting every community, it is affecting every state, and it is affecting the nation as a whole.
As a result of the Biden administration not engaging in a meaningful consultation process, they reached a decision that harms your community and has caused great suffering for not only your community, but the people that they are bringing…
The Biden administration has totally failed at communicating and working with the community to address the crisis that the Biden administration has created.
That does not sound to be very meaningful in terms of public engagement or decision making.
Whether it was President Biden or Obama, Speaker Pelosi or Leader Schumer, these so-called leaders have waged war against American coal and oil and gas, all the while knowing they cannot replace the very energy resources they are…
How can Americans trust an investigation run by a Special Counsel who by allowing the statute of limitations to expire irreversibly, quote, "sanitized the most criminal conduct and concealed material facts"?
We have been investigating very serious charges made about your department and other elements of the Biden Administration which allege ignoring the law to protect political allies from being held accountable for their wrongdoing.
This tells us either that the Biden administration is unaware of how significant oil and gas is to our state, or they simply don't care.
President Biden and Democrats in Congress continue to push the false narrative that there are leases available out there that oil and gas companies are just choosing not to use.
Don't you agree that the BLM, in pursuing these radical policies, should make even a rudimentary effort to get an understanding of the consequences of their decisions?
I really urge the Administration not to curtail U.S. oil and gas production, but instead work with us.
This unnecessary, self-imposed moratorium is extremely concerning, highly unusual, and has negative cumulative impacts for state revenue and for the economic health of this state and, I would add, for this country.
The President has let OPEC set energy prices instead of what my industry did just a few short years ago when we made OPEC irrelevant.
John Kerry, the climate czar, has himself said we could stop all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and it would make no difference on global climate change.
We have an Administration doing that in the name of climate change, but then running to Saudi Arabia and, before the invasion, to Russia, asking for them to increase their production.
The regulation coming at our industry is astounding, just one of those rules we are really going to focus on today.
Why is it that every policy this Administration pursues is intended to create energy poverty?
Why would this Administration insist on exporting our economy and our jobs to other nations to do something that we can do better?
Why would the BLM want to incentivize even more frivolous lawsuits against energy development in this country?
And if this is a threat, then I think that you have really asked something way above my pay grade.
The risk that we all recognize are posed by China and the communist party that runs that country.
