We need a plan to begin reducing our deficit in the short term, not shortsighted giveaways of our most pristine areas.
The Republican Majority is once again looking to drill in the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.
Unfortunately, drilling in the Arctic refuge would do very little to reduce our deficit in the next 10 years.
The Republican Majority has opposed repealing unnecessary tax breaks for the oil and gas industry that would generate more than $43 billion ...
The oil and gas industry is swimming profits while our country is swimming in debt.
The top 5 oil companies have made $71 billion dollars just in the first six months of this year.
Even when taxpayers are getting some return for our oil and gas resources, we are still not receiving our fair share.
At minimum, we should increase the grazing fees to market prices.
Democratic proposals to ensure oil companies pay their fair share would generate nearly $60 billion over the next 10 years.
if we are serious about revenues, the revenues from the oil and gas companies at this moment are there.
To remove those subsidies and tax breaks for the oil and gas industry makes a lot of sense.
We need to get off of oil, and new technologies can help us do that.
It is imperative that the Natural Resources Committee exercise this authority thoughtfully and in an expeditious and transparent manner.
Well, I am not even a witness.
A royalty rate of just 12.5% would return $300 million to taxpayers annually.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, very much.
Is it worth it to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge to find $3 billion worth of revenues, given the pristine nature of the Arctic Wildlife...
