“American technology is a marvel in the world. We Americans figure out how to solve problems by using technology.

In fact, we found so much energy that we are in a position where we can export it and benefit our economy and people in America with more jobs. Now, I have got to tell you something: I am proud to be American for a lot of reasons, but there is a great reason right there. Our ingenuity solved this problem and created opportunities that we couldn't have dreamt of, but the Federal Government is standing in the way. We can't fully do what we need to do here. There are many things in the way, but we are trying to deal with just two of them today. One of them is the limitations we put on the sovereign tribal nations that my friend from Florida so eloquently spoke about. We put limitations on them and their ability to develop energy resources on their land. It is their land. Let them develop it. There are a couple good things from that. One of them is all of us in America get the benefit from that.…”
