I haven't heard hysterics.

I hope that you can address how these issues translate to my community, to lives lost, businesses lost, homes lost because of flooding.

I was very, very grateful to President Obama last night, because he talked about a vision for energy independence in the next decade.

I appreciate very much the Senator's persistent leadership through this. I think that as people look back through time and look for responsible behavior at this moment, they will see her efforts as a shining example and others as…

To me, it is a trillion dollar climate bailout.

If anything we need to do, it is to leave this planet in the condition as good as we got it from our parents.

I shudder to think of what it means is going to happen.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

This Committee is geared toward green jobs.

We need to be bold, and this Committee has to lead the way.

Senator, thank you very much. And thank you for the contribution you made to this debate, working with Senator Bingaman.

I think that was part of our last approach. I am thankful to you for raising this issue because I think it has to be key to our next legislation as well.

I am pleased today to express my support for the confirmation of Dr. Jane Lubchenco as the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

I think I can explain this amendment in 2 minutes, and then we can take a voice vote. I thank Senator Barrasso. He and I have a little different view on the importance of the National Environmental Policy Act in relation to this bill. Late…

I think it is amazing that the Senator is holding up a bill--holding up a bill. Very theatrical. Did you ever do that when George Bush was President and he sent down a bill twice as big as that? Did the Senator ever do that? Because you…

I was very surprised by it as chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee here. Thanks to the diligent staff--and I do appreciate them letting me know--I was able to craft another amendment that I hope will precede the amendment of…

If President Obama wants to build a spirit of trust and accountability in the Central Intelligence Agency, he has picked exactly the right person.

I love a debate, but I would like to debate on the facts. The facts are that this is what happened until we had the tax holiday. Now there is a new hue and cry: You did it in 2004; never do it again. Well, I think it is a good thing that…
