EXCERPT:
MARKEY: “Right now oil companies are taking American consumers and shaking them upside down at gas pumps all across our country, while simultaneously sending a signal to the Republican Party to kill Build Back Better, to kill a transition to all electric vehicles, to plug-in hybrids, to battery storage technologies that will lead inexorably, inevitably to the demise of those companies controlling the agenda of our nation. If we’re afraid of Russia’s agenda right now, Saudi Arabia’s control over our foreign policy in the Middle East, there's one sure and certain thing that we can do and it’s over the next month, and that is to make sure that we have both of those countries and others like them, on a pathway to bankruptcy, because the oil era will be over if we pass this bill.”
