From the transcript
I cannot express my disappointment in the Biden administration's decision to withdraw over 225,000 acres in my home state of Minnesota, restricting access to the Duluth complex, which is the largest untapped copper-nickel find in the world. Similarly, in the waning days of his administration, President Biden announced a withdrawal of over 625 million acres on the Outer Continental Shelf. The Biden administration's offshore energy lockups, along with their onshore mineral withdrawals, have cost Americans thousands of good-paying, often union jobs that are economic drivers in our respective local communities. These misguided actions threaten our long-term energy security and only serve to placate radical environmentalists who wish to divert energy and mining production overseas. H.R.
