Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, last week President Biden announced a series of executive orders to further advance his party's Green New Deal agenda. This is further proof of an utterly out-of-touch administration.

The average cost of a gallon of gas is $3.93 in Tennessee, almost double the price when the President took office. Most Americans will spend thousands more this year on filling up their tanks.

Families are also paying an average of $90 a month more for electricity this summer. In addition, reports say our Nation faces looming blackouts--yet this administration is doubling down on regulating our energy producers to death.

The solution is simple: The President should be supporting policies that ramp up domestic oil production, rather than policies that destroy it.

Mr. Biden has blamed oil companies, gas station owners, and everyone else for this disaster, but if he wants to assign blame, he need look no further than the mirror.
