Electricity prices right now in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative States and California are 45 percent higher than in my home State of Louisiana.

However, their unilateral actions will increase America's electricity bills, decrease family disposable income and result in real job losses for little or no measurable impact on our ever changing climate.

I think Senator Boozman's comment and explanation of the 97 percent figure really goes to that.

The science and economic consequences and legal underpinnings of the EPA's actions to advance the President's climate action plan are topics the Administration does not want to discuss in detail.

However, it is defined so broadly that all or virtually all the Republican members of this committee would be among the 97 percent.

In reality, that is a complete red herring. States are forced into achieving questionable emission reduction targets from a limited menu of economically damaging and legally questionable options.

States are left little choice but to join or create regional cap and trade programs which achieves the Administration's goal of making sure we all pay more for energy.

If the United States acts alone, it will have a very insignificant effect.

The only thing missing from this strategy is an empty promise from the President. If you like your affordable energy, you can keep your affordable energy.

Years ago when this first started, a lot of us believed it was true because that was what was supposed to be believed.

I just point that out because that is one of the most common rallying cries about this cartoonish debate, severe weather.

We must prioritize the funding of our nuclear forces commensurate with their role in protecting our country and deterring aggression throughout the globe.

Absolutely not, this should not have been done.

Compliance with this treaty is in America's national interest and has a significant impact on our diplomatic relations.

Standing alone, the June 16, 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement appears worthy of celebration.

I support Dr. Gowadia's statement about taking this up in a different environment.

I believe, and I think shared by Senator Collins, is one of the brightest lights in President Obama's cabinet.

it is not a waste of investment if we are turning around, not spending money with people who hate us
