Cory Gardner

I think, again, just the national security component of this is so critical and shouldn't be overlooked.

Thank you for your leadership on the AIRWAVES bill and your recognition of the importance of satellite.

I appreciate what you do to help connect all of us.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you all for your testimony and time today.

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 7:31 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, October 19, 2017, at 9:30…

I have had a little bit of time to listen to some of the speeches that have been given on the floor today, and I just want to talk about a few of those today. My great colleague from Maryland, with whom I have enjoyed the privilege of…

I was surprised by Secretary Perry's directing FERC to implement cost-based rates in fully competitive markets for bulk power in what is an apparent attempt to subsidize both nuclear- and coal-fired generation.

Is it possible that Senate bill 186 could limit the delegation authority of the FERC Commissioners to staff in the event of a loss of a quorum?

I am proud to be an original co-sponsor of Senator Heinrich's Energy Technology Maturation Act.

The nations of Vietnam and Timor-Leste are important partners for the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is my hope that the nominees before us today, if confirmed, could advance these partnerships to benefit U.S. national and economic security.

If confirmed, I will work closely with Ambassador Hutchison and our Allies to ensure that commitments at the Warsaw Summit and Brussels Conference are met, and that NATO contributes robustly to the success of the new U.S. strategy.

It presents both a great challenge and unique opportunities before this country.

The answer isn't, 'There is going to be less,' the answer is, 'There is going to be more, and we're going to create more jobs as a result.'

Until we can answer that question, 'You know what? You're going to be OK, and here's how,' there is going to be an uncertainty.

The answer is always, with the innovations that we have been able to achieve in this country, we're going to have progress, innovation, and more jobs than we've ever had before.

Vehicle-to-vehicle technology, autonomous vehicles, could be used to assist in this type of a situation perhaps to avoid that type of accident.

I agree with you, too. And I also want to commend you and your leadership again and talk about some of the toughest things that we've seen over the past several years.

I believe our national labs are catalysts that have accelerated or made possible many innovations.

How we choose to invest in our national labs and support the scientists within them is critical going forward.

The 17 labs of the DOE are national assets that have contributed profoundly to the nation's security, scientific leadership, and economic competitiveness.

I enjoy the opportunity, always, to work with the Ranking Member, Senator Manchin, to address these key topics in Energy.

This past weekend was a tragedy. When we witness people with KKK signs, and white supremacist signs, and neo-Nazi signs, I will tell you this, those assholes can go back to their cave, we don't want them in this country.

It's an incredible important asset to these towns and gives them a transportation alternative.

I've been proud to support the effort, helped to acquire multiple TIGER grants to assist in the process.
