                          BIDEN ENERGY CRISIS

  (Mr. MOORE of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Madam Speaker, Democrats are always looking for 
a new way to pick your pocket. Their latest scheme, tucked away in 
their reconciliation bill, is a heat your home tax just in time for 
winter.
  This tax would eliminate almost 90,000 American jobs and increase 
Americans' heating bills by up to $242 per year. Pain from the heat 
your home tax would hit Americans who are already suffering from the 
Biden energy crisis.
  The national average for a gallon of gasoline reached $3.38 on 
Monday--the most Americans have paid since Biden was Vice President. 
And the heating home costs are already projected to rise as much as 54 
percent on some homes and households in America.
  This crisis is driven by bad policies. On Joe Biden's first day in 
office, he killed 11,000 American jobs by blocking the Keystone 
pipeline. Basically, Joe Biden's energy policy is this: You kill the 
Keystone pipeline and then you allow Russia a green light to build a 
pipeline, and then you beg OPEC to increase production, and you buy 
solar panels from China.
