Congressman Kelly Armstrong
Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) sent The Crude Life the following statement on Democrats’ plan to reintroduce the Green New Deal.
“The Green New Deal would be devastating to North Dakota and those who rely on the energy industry to feed their families. The Green New Deal is an effort to take control of the entire economy, destroy millions of jobs, and put the government at the center of more Americans’ lives. Some estimates put the cost of implementing the plan at $93 trillion, costing every American household up to $65,000 per year.
What is most disturbing, if you compare President Biden’s “infrastructure” plan and the Green New Deal, there is little difference between them. The President’s proposal calls for more spending on electric vehicles ($174B) than it does for spending on roads, bridges, highways, waterways, ports, dams, and airports ($157B). This is just another push to get the Green New Deal implemented.
We need a bipartisan plan that will reduce global emissions and grow the economy by ensuring we can develop and build technologies at home that are clean and affordable. The Green New Deal will not deliver clean air or clean water, only destroy our economy and millions of livelihoods,” said Congressman Armstrong.
US Senator Kevin Cramer
U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, sent The Crude Life the following statement on Democrats reintroducing the Green New Deal:
“The Green New Deal is not a serious proposal, it’s a pipe dream. It would ruin the economy, bankrupt the nation, and destroy America’s energy and national security. And while the Green New Deal would wreak all this havoc, it would still fail to lower emissions because demand would simply shift to dirtier, foreign sources of energy. I urge my colleagues to reject the Green New Deal as they did last Congress and join us at the table with real, consensus-driven solutions.”
US Senator John Hoeven
Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Energy Committee, sent The Crude Life the following statement after Democrats reintroduced the Green New Deal.
“The Green New Deal would cost trillions in taxpayer dollars and bankrupt our country. At the same time, it calls for eliminating traditional energy sources that provide good-paying jobs and affordable energy for our homes, businesses and the economy.
“Instead of unworkable mandates and job-killing regulations, we should be encouraging innovation and private investment to develop and deploy new technologies – such as carbon capture, utilization and storage – to produce more energy, from both traditional and renewable sources, with better environmental stewardship.”
American Energy Alliance (AEA) President Thomas Pyle
“Affordable energy won at the ballot box, not climate change. We already know the outcomes of Biden’s failed green jobs programs and since extremists can’t trick Congress into pushing through the Green New Deal, they may attempt to go around them. This is their warning.
“The swamp has been refilled and this kind of secretive effort – only revealed via lawsuit – demonstrates the worst elements of Washington DC. Unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats are again cycling through the revolving door of government and special interest groups to circumvent the will of the people all in the name of greater government control.”
