WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement ahead of President Biden's joint address to Congress where he is expected to promote his actions from the first 100 days of his Administration:
The Biden Administration's approach to energy is the last thing America needs – especially when the United States is already leading the world in emissions reductions.
President Biden is forcing our nation to adopt global standards the rest of the world is already failing to meet while eliminating opportunities for hard-working Americans. Sadly, his job-killing proposals come at a time when we are still reeling from the economic, societal, and psychological impacts of the global pandemic.
The saying goes: if you can't win the debate, change the rules.
