Cornyn Condemns Biden Admin’s Last-Minute, Radical Energy Regulations
The day after Christmas, President Biden’s energy department finalized new climate regulations.
Is there no home appliance or device that’s safe from this radical agenda?
President Biden may have been busy over the last few months since the November 5 election, but we are gearing up to be even busier undoing much of the mischief that he has wrought during these last couple of months on his way out the door.
WASHINGTON – Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) condemned the outgoing Biden administration’s progressive energy regulations, which are resulting in record-high electricity prices for American consumers, and discussed Republicans’ plans to roll back these misguided regulations using resolutions of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.
“We only have four more days of President Biden’s absentee leadership, but he seems to be making the most of his final days as he goes out the door.”
“Americans have been suffering under high prices for energy under President Biden’s presidency. Electricity prices have risen more than 30 percent.”
“These high prices are the direct result of President Biden’s policies, which put climate activists in the front seat while working families are left behind.”
“The day after Christmas, President Biden’s energy department finalized new climate regulations that would functionally ban almost all-natural gas-powered water heaters.”
“The households affected are largely low-income and senior citizens on a fixed income.”
“Is there no home appliance or device that’s safe from this radical agenda?”
“The Biden administration has targeted gas-powered cars, gas stoves, water heaters, and now they want to get after our lawn mowers and leaf blowers.”
“Republicans are taking note. We know that with President Trump being sworn into office next Monday, with new majorities in the House and the Senate, that things are going to change.”
“I’m glad we’re going to be able to focus soon, after we confirm President Trump’s cabinet, on Congressional Review Act regulatory disapprovals. I plan on introducing a few of these myself so we can reverse many of the Biden administration’s misguided regulations.”
“President Biden may have been busy over the last few months since the November 5 election, but we are gearing up to be even busier undoing much of the mischief that he has wrought during these last couple of months on his way out the door.”
