                 THE PRESIDENT'S WAR ON AMERICAN ENERGY

  (Mr. MOORE of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Madam Speaker, President Biden's energy 
policies have triggered 7-year high gas prices that are hammering 
American families and small business owners. Today gas prices are 50 
percent higher than a year ago. In Montgomery, folks are paying $3.09 a 
gallon, Enterprise $3.21, and Eufaula and Troy $3.29.
  At these prices, the average Alabamian will pay about $23 more each 
week on gasoline. That is more than $100 a month and $1,200 a year.
  Gas prices impact small businesses, too. I am a small business owner, 
and countless small businesses like mine that are highly dependent on 
gas prices are being hammered right now by these high prices.
  Almost all goods and services must be delivered via gas at some 
point. So it is basic economics. When the price of gas goes up, the 
price of everything goes up. That is on top of near-record inflation 
being driven by our out-of-control government spending. This insanity 
has to stop or the pain at the pump will continue.
  Biden must end his war on American energy, and we must defeat his 
socialist tax-and-spend agenda.
