The Public Record
Consumers deserve to know the actual cost of what they are paying for, and this measure does so.
This Administration's underlying agenda is to promote a so-called 'green transmission system'.

Record unemployment, record increases in energy prices. Why don't you develop the vast reserves we have?
We have been embarking upon a policy of prohibiting development of our energy reserves to the point where they have become scarce.
How do we lessen our dependence on foreign oil by prohibiting the development of our domestic supplies?
I would like to just test out a theory that I have evolved over the last few years since I arrived here at the Congress.
Why not just say no more borrowing, except by extraordinary majority vote of the Congress, say three-fourths of the Congress, for a single object or work?
