There is also a problem with energy poverty, energy justice, economic justice.

It is ridiculous that we continue to have these virtual hearings when most of us, if not all of us, have been vaccinated.

Would you agree that the Reverend Jackson is doing the right thing to try to address energy injustice and economic injustice by getting a natural gas pipeline into that community?

I just think that we are, once again, going down the wrong track with this.

With the stroke of his pen, President Biden canceled more than the Keystone XL pipeline. He canceled the jobs of over 1,000 men and women. Each one of these jobs is a real person with real hopes for themselves and their families who are…

I think it is time that people begin to speak up for energy and economic justice for all people, all low-income people, in particular.

these brand new deal type things that really don't make a lot of sense in terms of, first of all, mitigating against the climate change that we know is going to occur without doing irreparable harm to the economy.

We had a hearing--I think it was yesterday, it may have been the day before yesterday. Former Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz talked about the need to expedite our permitting for new construction.

I'm not totally--for the record, I'm not against renewables. I just want to make the point from an engineering and technological perspective that it's not possible to provide all of our energy through renewables.

So if you--if we really think that extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, then why would we be moving towards weather--more weather-dependent energy sources and shutting down our most efficient forms of energy, including…

I appreciate your candid and accurate response to that, Secretary Moniz.

it takes upwards of 7 to 8 years just to get the paperwork finished.

If we are going to waste hundreds of billions of dollars, let's build it as efficiently as we can.

billions of dollars in the Federal programs, and yet, we are failing to address one of the biggest obstacles.

shouldn't we be looking at ways to expedite our permiting process for infrastructure, maybe for building nuclear power plants that have no CO2 emissions?

If we are not mining in the U.S. for these materials, where are we going to get them?

I might suggest that, if this were to become law, we implement it only in Democrat congressional districts and see how that works out.

Are you aware that 25--according to the EPA, 25--up to 25 percent on any given day of the air pollution, the particulate matter over the skies of Los Angeles, are from China?

I was offended and extremely disappointed that you could not give a straight yes-or-no answer on whether or not the claims that President Trump was responsible for 500,000 COVID deaths...

I would think, though, given the potential efficacy for this drug or preventing the transmission, that it ought to be part of some type of Operation Warp Speed program to get this done as quickly as possible, and particularly for getting…

A bill trampling on the Second Amendment rights of the American people is a convenient distraction from the actual crisis in the United States. There are over almost 11,000 people killed by drunk drivers each year. There were more than…

I think we have got to take that into account.

If my Democrat colleagues were serious about making elections fair and honest they would start by enforcing a law they passed--The National Voter Registration Act of 1993. That law requires that every state and every county maintain…

Millions of American school children will soon have missed a year of in-person instruction, and we may have inflicted permanent damage on some of them and on our country. The educational losses are disproportionately the fault of…
