                AMERICA IS EXPERIENCING AN ENERGY CRISIS

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Madam Speaker, America is experiencing an energy crisis. 
The price of oil, a gallon of gas, electricity, and natural gas are all 
topping 7-year highs. But what does that really mean for the American 
people?
  It means less money to buy groceries and more money at the gas pump; 
it means less money to take care of your kids and more money to heat 
your home; and it means less money for your healthcare and more money 
for overhead to run your business. That is a terrible tradeoff for 
every American working hard to support their families.
  It is only happening because the Biden administration is intent on 
implementing policies that make it harder for American energy producers 
to develop cleaner, more affordable energy right here at home.
  President Biden must wake up and see that there is only one way to 
reverse this course: Embrace American energy.
