Moore's remarks as prepared are below: "Democrats are always looking for a new way to pick your pocket. Their latest scheme, tucked away in their reconciliation bill, is a "Heat Your Home" tax – just in time for winter. This tax could eliminate as many as 90,000 American jobs and increase Americans' heating bills by up to $242 per year. "Pain from the Heat Your Home tax would hit Americans who are already suffering from the Biden energy crisis. The national average for a gallon of gas reached $3.38 on Monday – the most Americans have paid at the pump since Biden was vice president. And home heating costs are already projected to rise by as much as 54% for some American households this winter. "This crisis is driven by bad policies. On Joe Biden's first day in office, he killed over 11,000 American jobs by blocking by the Keystone Pipeline. Basically, Joe Biden's energy policy is this: you kill the Keystone Pipeline, then you allow Russia a green light to build a pipeline, then you beg OPEC to increase production, and you buy solar panels from China. And with that, I yield back." Background: House Democrats' "Heat Your Home" tax authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to assess a $1,500 tax per ton of methane emissions on energy producers, processors, transmission, storage, import/export, and pipelines. Already, home heating costs are projected to rise by as much as 54% for some American households this winter, and some parts of America have seen the price for a gallon of gas reach $7.59 a gallon. One of Biden's first executive orders was to pause new oil and gas leasing on U.S. lands and waters. This order will cost approximately one million Americans jobs in the near term, decrease U.S. Gross Domestic Product by $700 billion, and put America's energy security at risk. U.S. oil imports from foreign sources would increase by 2 million barrels a day. Through 2030, the U.S. would spend $500 billion more on energy from foreign suppliers. Additionally, instead of making it easier for American companies to increase domestic oil and gas production and hire more U.S. workers, Biden has begged OPEC and Russia to increase global output to ease rising prices.
