                           RISING GAS PRICES

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, in January of 2021, the average price for a 
gallon of gas was $2.39 nationally. Today, it is $3.49. These high 
prices are a direct result of Biden administration policies.
  Tennessee families are not only paying more to drive to work and take 
their kids to school, they are also paying more to power their homes. 
Since President Biden took office, the average cost of a kilowatt of 
power is up 30 percent.
  This is a direct result of the regulatory war being waged on domestic 
oil and gas production by the Biden administration. The current 
administration has taken more than 200 actions, all aimed at making 
American energy production more difficult, including killing the 
Keystone pipeline on day one.
  Madam Speaker, the American people are tired of footing the bill for 
the Green New Deal agenda. Let's get our Nation's energy policy back on 
track so our families are better able to fill their gas tanks and pay 
their electric bills.
