                           THE ENERGY CRISIS

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, last week President Biden announced a series 
of executive orders to further advance his party's Green New Deal 
agenda. This is further proof of an utterly out-of-touch 
administration.
  The average cost of a gallon of gas is $3.93 in Tennessee, almost 
double the price when the President took office. Most Americans will 
spend thousands more this year on filling up their tanks.
  Families are also paying an average of $90 a month more for 
electricity this summer. In addition, reports say our Nation faces 
looming blackouts--yet this administration is doubling down on 
regulating our energy producers to death.
  The solution is simple: The President should be supporting policies 
that ramp up domestic oil production, rather than policies that destroy 
it.
  Mr. Biden has blamed oil companies, gas station owners, and everyone 
else for this disaster, but if he wants to assign blame, he need look 
no further than the mirror.
