energy and environmental protection of ukraine in 19-20, joins us. ask about these forecasts, mr. oleksiy. it sounds scary, 24 hours a day , 20 hours a day without electricity in winter, can those predictions come true. well, let's say for sure that these are pessimistic forecasts, but again, there are a lot of factors that affect this situation. the first major factor is that we don't know what equipment composition and block composition we have we will enter the scorched season, why, because , well, simply the factor that the rashists can continue to hit and continue to hit our facilities and destroy them further, so on the one hand and on the other hand we can... after all, restore our facilities facilities, to effectively rebuild some facilities, taking into account the fact that you can move the equipment that survived somewhere and in principle install it in another place, if we have the opportunity to protect these facilities, so there are a lot of factors at play here, and on the other hand, of course you have to prepare before such outages,

community of the minister of energy and environmental protection of ukraine from 19 to 20. now talk about a difficult situation. that in our power system we have ongoing blackouts, schedules have been formed, there are emergency shutdowns, so the situation is not easy, but today is also the anniversary of the blowing up of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant, exactly one year ago the russians blew it up and caused a man-made disaster, actually i think that it would be appropriate to show the plot now, which i think we can watch together with oleksii orzhelem, oleksiy orzhyl, the head of the kyiv office of the secretariat... in fact , the minister of energy and environmental protection of ukraine from 19 to 20 years has been with us. mr. oleksiy, congratulations. good day. well, now let's look at the plot and after that we'll move on to analysis of our difficult energy situation. let's watch together. on the night of june 6 , 2023, the russians committed a terrible crime that they had warned about, that they feared, but could not prevent. the occupiers blew up the dams

policy and to stop the war on energy oil and natural gas. and gas drilling, including offshore and on federal lands. it also calls for restricting the environmental protection agency authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. and it seeks to reveal a number of critical climate initiatives, including the historic infrastructure investment and jobs act, which promotes a transition towards clean energy and invests in making communities more resilient to climate impact. project 2025 also takes tax incentives and subsidies for clean energy sources like solar and wind. in short, project 2025 would wreak havoc on climate initiatives and environmental policy. trump's agenda as laid out in project 2025 threatens to undo all the progress that has been made and to leave us more vulnerable to the devastating impacts of climate change. the gop's denial of climate science is not just a policy choice that is driven by fossil fuel projects, or profits. it is a threat to our safety and survival. make no mistake. the leadership we choose this november wi

make clean energy and sustainability, to revitalize climate and environmental justice programs, to protect our public health and to support implementation of the most consequence convince shall climate bill ever passed in american history in the inflation reduction act, which we passed on this floor just two years ago under the leadership of joe biden and democrats. because we must take climate action now. we cannot wait. but unfortunately, none of the amendments that i offered to this bill were found in order by the g.o.p., because not only do they seek to gut the fundamental international programs that underpin u.s. leadership on so many issues, they continue to do the bidding of their corporate donors here on the house floor. and that is why, mr. speaker, i have to vote no on this bill, and that is why we must restore our international commitments to climate action and justice and american leadership on this issue and stop every effort to undermine them. because indeed, the future of our country and our planet depend on it. with that, i yield back. . ms. lee: i yield back. the chair: th

in many cases environmental protections of every kind are going to be in the crosshairs and we're going go back to a fossil fuel influenced policy for both energy and climate out of the paris agreement. but we've known that that's not the new part of project. >> yeah. that sounds like it would be whatever any republican running for office, that would be their position that's actually 40 concert standard fare the new and alarming piece that the american people really need to understand in this task force is going to help to spotlight it, is the attack on our democratic institutions are individual freedoms and rights church, state separation things that will potentially irreversibly break america as we know it. all right, congressman jared huffman, democratic california. thanks so much for being here. come back, talk to talk more about this. there's 1,000 pages of it and we should also extend an invitation to the people behind project 2025 to come on the lead and talk about your agenda, what you've want president trump to achieve should he be elected in november coming up, catherine princ

hoeven: in april the environmental protection agency finalized four new regulations specifically targetingur power plants. certainly the coal-fired power plants in my state of north dakota including an expensive, unachievable new mercury and air toxic standard or mats rule. despite the epa's own regulatory analysis their own regulatory analysis stating that the previous rule was adequately protecting public health. the clean power plant 2.0, so-called clean power plant 2.0 requiring existing coal-fired and new gas-fired plants to reduce co2 emixes by 90 -- emissions by 90%, 90% when it's not yet viable. they can't do it. it puts them out of business meaning less base load electricity. they put forth a new coal ash management rule and water discharge rule imposing costly unachievable requirements on power generators all time when we need more electricity. now, the biden administration's regulatory blizzard comes at a time when the north american electric reliability corporation or next -- nerc continues to raise concerns about elevated risks of blackouts and brownouts. the presiding officer
