                        THE WAR ON FOSSIL FUELS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the Biden war on fossil 
fuels has already caused a 40-year high of inflation, harms families, 
and continues to enrich war criminal Putin and force dependency on the 
Chinese Communist Party for batteries.
  Now the threat to American families has intensified, as explained in 
a September 8 editorial by The Wall Street Journal. ``Oil prices have 
climbed this week after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their 
production cuts. The Biden administration's response? Restrict U.S. oil 
and gas development.
  ``The Interior Department . . . canceled seven oil and gas leases in 
Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge . . .
  ``Its climate agenda is also the most lawless and economically 
destructive in history.
  ``Russia is drilling in the Arctic and using it as a shipping route 
to deliver oil to China. The administration's restrictions on U.S. 
Arctic oil and gas development amount to unilateral energy 
disarmament.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America with open Biden borders. We 
also extend our sympathy to the great people of Morocco.
