What I see, unfortunately, is a continuation of the efforts that block our ability to safely develop our resources.

I have suggested that a much better option is to increase domestic energy production and use those revenues to help communities in need.

Depriving the Gulf states of revenue sharing from offshore production is just a nonstarter.

I will. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I just want to assure the chairman of the Energy Committee that we are not giving up on this bill. It has too much support on a bipartisan basis for us to walk away from it, and I know all of our…

Through the Chair, I am aware that what you have required, as well as what we have been working on jointly, does require an action plan that describes the spend-down and how that would be allocated. It is my understanding that it will be…

I cannot speak to the accuracy of exactly how much has been made available to the State. It is my understanding that the State has received, through the EPA, the State's annual receipts from the EPA's clean water fund. I do not know if…

It is my understanding that there is an assessment and analysis that is due out, I believe, toward the end of next week. The State has been working aggressively to determine the costs, as well as how they would move forward with an action…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:23 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, February 4, 2016, at 10 a.m.

We have been relatively quiet on the Senate floor today with consideration of the Energy Policy Modernization Act, but that does not mean that there has not been a great deal of activity behind the scenes as we try to work out some of the…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:38 p.m., adjourned until Wednesday, February 3, 2016, at 9:30…

I would note that there will now be a series of eight votes when we commence at 2:30 this afternoon, and recognizing that there are committees meeting and other Senate business going on, we would hope to be able to process these votes…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:41 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, February 2, 2016, at 10 a.m…

I also understand that Senator Whitehouse wishes to speak to an amendment that is pending. Is that correct?

Just an inquiry, Mr. President, into how much time the Senator is seeking at this moment.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:26 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, January 28, 2016, at 9:45…

Senators should be aware that we may add additional rollcall votes on amendments to both stacks of votes tomorrow, as the ranking member has said. It would certainly be our intent that we work to process as much as we can during the time…

I thank my colleague. Amendment No. 2953 (Purpose: In the nature of a substitute)

In order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to further proceedings. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The bill will be placed on the calendar. ____________________

I understand there is a bill at the desk that is due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the bill by title for the second time. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S…

I have heard from constituents who frequent gun shows telling me that this is not the case.

I was home in Nome, Alaska, about ten days or so ago. The prices up in Nome are in the mid-$5 range.

We have too much of a good thing in some parts of the country.

As fossil fuel prices fall, how does that affect the competitiveness for renewables, as well as nuclear power?

I think it is fitting, therefore, that we hold this hearing on the broad energy outlook shortly before the full Senate might turn to our broader energy bill.

It is an issue that is not only interesting but clearly consequential in so many different ways as we look to the outlook for not only the energy, but the mineral markets as well.
