Today, Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) joined Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) and House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to talk about the Biden administration's energy crisis.

His full remarks can be found here and highlights can be found below.

On Democrats' energy policies:

"We are creating a policy that makes energy more expensive and puts us in a bad competition space on the world stage. It's that simple. And on top of that, we are moving towards these unrealistic climate goals that simply cannot be attained in the time in which they say they do."

On rising energy prices:

"North Dakota is an energy powerhouse. We have got notice from two of our utilities that people are going to pay upwards of 150 to 200 dollars more for their energy costs this winter. When you say you are not taxing anybody who makes under 400,000 dollars per year, people who are paying 200 dollars more to heat their home in North Dakota in the winter will disagree with you."
