         SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE PRESIDENT'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Madam Speaker, with executive order after executive 
order, President Biden dismantled America's energy dominance. In the 
first days of his administration, President Biden killed the Keystone 
pipeline, paused new oil and gas production on U.S. lands, and 
destroyed thousands of good-paying jobs.
  My Republican colleagues and I sounded the alarm knowing that this 
type of short-sighted policy would have a devastating impact on our 
economy and national security. Now energy prices are rising with winter 
quickly approaching, and hidden deep in the Democrats' reconciliation 
plan is a tax on heating your home, Madam Speaker, that could leave 
Americans paying 50 percent more to keep warm this winter.
  That is absurd. To make it worse, President Biden said he doesn't 
have a near-term answer for America's energy crisis. Well, we 
Republicans do. We have an answer. It starts with reversing Biden's 
harmful energy policies and investing in American energy.
