                FIGHTING BIDEN'S WAR ON AMERICAN ENERGY

  (Mr. FITZGERALD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FITZGERALD. Madam Speaker, since President Biden's first day in 
office, he has waged an unprecedented war on American energy. The cost, 
of course, is ultimately passed down to Americans.
  Let's break down a few critical missteps from the White House on 
energy policy.
  This administration has crippled U.S. energy independence, as seen by 
the administration's most recent decision to halt approvals for new 
natural gas export terminals.
  This administration has also made our country more dependent on 
foreign energy, propping up our adversaries, as seen by his decision to 
shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, which impacted many hardworking 
Wisconsinites.
  The latest push from the administration seems to be a political 
agenda against gas vehicles, which, of course, will levy even higher 
costs on Americans who cannot afford an electric vehicle.
  House Republicans, on the other hand, have remained committed to 
making energy more affordable and putting American energy first.
  We passed the Lower Energy Costs Act, which received bipartisan 
support and will put the country on a path to responsibly power our 
future.
