I think it's a great opportunity for this country to have a conversation about the climate and get the politics out of it and bring the scientists together.

Streamlining permitting and modernizing our infrastructure will combine to revive our Nation at a time when it's sorely needed.

If we continue to export clean-burning natural gas, we drive down CO2 levels.

I hope what we can agree upon is that the 403 that I put forward was a way to kick start a national discussion about resiliency and about reliability of the grid.
