WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-6) spoke on the House Floor Tuesday about the need for the Biden Administration to support American energy independence, as gas prices continue to soar.
The full speech, as prepared for delivery, is below:
Madam Speaker, the average price of gasoline has more than doubled since President Biden was sworn into office.
That’s not a coincidence; after all, before he took office, he told us he would “end fossil fuel.”
Now, Americans are finding out the hard way what happens when we elect a president that wants to “end fossil fuels.” The cost of living rises faster than we can keep up because almost everything we wear, eat, and use is transported via fossil fuels.
Meanwhile, yesterday the president announced he would be invoking the defense production act to make more solar panels. Give me a break.
The president needs to concede his war against American energy and allow companies to drill and explore for new oil. It’s that easy. Yet he refuses.
President Biden simply must do better.
