A modern 21st energy infrastructure isn't modern at all unless it takes climate change into account.

The wasteful and unnecessary flaring of natural gas is a serious problem. It has no place in a modern energy infrastructure.

If it is profitable to capture the natural gas, rather than flare it, why aren't more companies doing it?

Mr. Chairman, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from California (Mr. Lowenthal).

Mr. Chair, I offer an amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Redesignate section 5 as section 6 and insert after section 4 the following: SEC. 5. CONGRESSIONAL…

Mr. Speaker, first, Vladimir Putin invaded Georgia. Now, the Russian bear is after Ukraine. Ukraine is almost totally dependent on Russia for energy. Russian imperialism has proven that it is willing to use gas as a political and economic…

This resolution expedites the policy of the United States to be--to supply the Russians with--or supply the Ukrainians with natural gas.

We should be a singular voice on this. 'You are not going to be able to hold these countries hostage any longer over the issue of energy.'

Mr. Speaker, on March 5, 2014--I was not present for rollcall votes 93-98 due to an event in Connecticut with President Barack Obama. If I had been present for these votes, I would have voted: ``nay'' on rollcall vote 93, ``nay'' on…

Sixteen of my colleagues sent a letter to the President asking for those similar powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
