Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, the minority lead on the subcommittee, opened his statement with a screed against the Green New Deal -- which isn't a topic of today's hearing.
Gosar said that retreating from fossil fuel in the way the Green New Deal lays out is "a socialist fairytale" and said you couldn't replace six-figure energy jobs with a "federal take over of the country."
"Conventional energy sources have played an overwhelmingly positive role" in the US, he said, adding that "innovation has reduced emissions as productions have increased," and "the void left by America" should we retreat would be filled by others.
The Democratic chair Alan Lowenthal joked, "So I take it you won't be a cosponsor?" The Republican replied, "You can take that to the bank."
