Biden Administration Waging War on American Energy

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, since President Biden took office, his administration has waged an unprecedented war on American energy and continuously pushed this country into adopting the Green New Deal agenda.

These policies pushed by the global elites have caused energy prices to skyrocket, as well as allow for our energy security to be exposed before our greatest adversaries, such as China and Iran.

Two weeks ago, Joe Biden's Department of Energy announced that they would freeze permits for liquefied gas exports, forcing hardworking Americans to spend more on residential uses for natural gas, including cooking and heating homes. Furthermore, this decision will hurt our farmers as it would force them to spend more on fertilizer.

The last thing Virginians want is more burdensome regulations pushed by the Biden administration, including by their two climate czars, John Kerry and John Podesta. These are two individuals who are among the Democratic elite and are simply out of touch with everyday Americans.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H. Res. 987 so the American people aren't further burdened with climate change policies that we have seen fail throughout the world.

House Republicans will continue to fight for American energy independence on behalf of the American people.
