S1363 Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 38 (Wednesday, February 26, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 38 (Wednesday, February 26, 2025)] [Senate] [Page S1363] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] S.J. RES. 10 Mr. REED. Mr. President, initially, I want to make a very brief comment on the legislation my colleagues Senator Heinrich and Senator Kaine are advancing and which will be voted on later this afternoon. I am proud to be a cosponsor of this resolution, which would overturn President Trump's really sham energy emergency. At a time when the United States is already producing record amounts of oil and gas, the President wants to bypass laws and explore eminent domain to fast-track fossil fuel projects--not alternate energy projects, fossil fuel projects--and really not to lower prices or create jobs but to benefit his Big Oil donors, whom President Trump reportedly asked to donate $1 billion to his campaign. It sounds awfully like quid pro quo, which in the past was frowned upon by Presidents. The truth is, the President's Executive orders on energy, including his unlawful pause on investments from the Inflation Reduction Act, threaten to raise prices, kill good-paying American jobs, and cede economic opportunities to China. This is true in my home State of Rhode Island, where offshore wind companies worked hand in hand with the local communities, labor leaders, and local officials to invest in good-paying jobs for Rhode Island. The President's actions threaten that process. So I look forward to voting in favor of this resolution when it comes up later today. ____________________
