Geothermal sources are effectively renewable, they're not emitting things. They're not emitting carbon into the atmosphere. They're not polluting the atmosphere. The same cannot be said of oil and gas drilling. Is that correct?

We will sink that bill unless we have an agreement on this larger spending plan because you promised us, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, that this dual track was going to go together.

I think we need to make decisions also with respect to the United States contribution, again relative to the rest of the world including China and other much larger polluters, and much bigger problems.

I think it's a fool's errand to try to radically transform the greatest economy in the world and have this in a way that picks winners and losers.

Ultimately, the best energy future is one that allows the American people to innovate.

So let me get this straight. We've given more favorable NEPA regulatory treatment to oil and gas drilling on Federal lands, than we have to geothermal drilling on Federal land?

The answer is not to spend billions of Federal taxpayer dollars to electrify every American home and business.

That's unacceptable, and it's why I've introduced the UNSHACKLE Act.

We need to unshackle American industry so that new and diverse energy sources can help create a more resilient energy future.

I think it's extremely irresponsible. I think there's a lot of radical climate alarmist and ideologues driving this, and I think it's going to ruin the greatest economy in the world.

That's unacceptable, it's why I've introduced the UNSHACKLE Act.

Our country needs to modernize the way we generate, transmit and distribute electricity.

We must liberate our energy sector. We must reduce regulatory barriers to developing nuclear, hydro, geothermal and other forms of energy.

I want to make sure that certain actions are not undertaken that could end up inhibiting bidding.

Clearly if you can get paid $300 per child, even though the child is here illegally and you are here illegally, that is going to encourage people to come here.

Well, the $3.5 trillion number is a shocking figure.

I would like to associate myself with the comments that Senator Rubio made about planning for a potential immediate collapse of the Afghan Government and security forces.

Given that response, I know that previously the position of the Administration and the State Department was that the 2001 AUMF no longer played a role of significance.
