Rising Gas Prices

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, in January of 2021, the average price for a gallon of gas was $2.39 nationally. Today, it is $3.49. These high prices are a direct result of Biden administration policies.

Tennessee families are not only paying more to drive to work and take their kids to school, they are also paying more to power their homes. Since President Biden took office, the average cost of a kilowatt of power is up 30 percent.

This is a direct result of the regulatory war being waged on domestic oil and gas production by the Biden administration. The current administration has taken more than 200 actions, all aimed at making American energy production more difficult, including killing the Keystone pipeline on day one.

Madam Speaker, the American people are tired of footing the bill for the Green New Deal agenda. Let's get our Nation's energy policy back on track so our families are better able to fill their gas tanks and pay their electric bills.
