I thank the gentleman for his comments on our resources in Alaska and the little poster that you have there on drilling in ANWR. You can see that little tiny dot--it's almost difficult for me to see from here. It is just a little tiny…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. He talked a little bit about the Keystone pipeline. I would point out that the development of the Alberta oil sands for the State of Texas-- and this was a statement that was given to the Energy and…

I thank our colleague on the Energy and Commerce Committee for his comments. I know you were in the Chamber during the State of the Union address when you heard not too far from where you stand the President discuss his desire for an…

Yes. We are taking nearly 1 million barrels of oil a day. That's almost enough to replace our imports from Saudi Arabia. So between the two, the Keystone pipeline and the Beaufort Chukchi Sea development, I mean, we're talking…

That's true. And one of the biggest challenges we face, as you mentioned, is the possibility that we could lose out on one of this Nation's great works, the Trans Alaska Pipeline, if we don't properly take care of it and make sure that we…

I want to thank both of my colleagues from New York and Texas for joining us tonight. We are out of time, but I appreciate the opportunity to address the House with your expertise and your leadership and know that we are fighting for the…

And not only were you talking about millions and billions of dollars that were spent on trying to go forward to produce energy in an area that was already approved to produce energy, but they were blocked by the bureaucratic process. They…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the opportunity to address the House tonight on American energy. Tonight's gathering again brings together people from across the country to talk about energy policies, rising energy costs, and what it means not…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. And he touched on a great point, the fact that it's not just energy creation itself, energy development itself that creates the jobs that this country so desperately needs. But it's all the indirect…

The additional water storage that Colorado requires can only be realized by rethinking the way the Federal government works.

Water is an economic driver. In order to attract more growth to the western United States... every industry depends upon an ample water supply.

Conservation alone cannot meet these demands. We have an obligation to prepare this country's future generations by storing water.

I thank the gentleman from Ohio. And I'm sure you'd be interested to know this--and I'm sure you already know this, in fact--that according to testimony that was given before the Energy and Commerce Committee hearing last year on energy…

I thank the gentleman for his time tonight, and again, as we wrap up our discussion, we will just highlight the support the Keystone pipeline has across this country. Again, you can see the people who believe that job creation, American…

Thank you, the gentleman from South Carolina, getting to the passion which so many Members have tonight throughout this fight to create American jobs. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Griffith) who has also been a leader when it…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. I will show a map. Mr. Conaway, the gentleman from Texas, referred to a pipeline. The only reason we had the Department of State involved is because it crosses a national boundary. So you can see the…

I thank the gentleman from New York and, again, thank you for your constant leadership on our national energy security. And we do harken back to the time just a few weeks ago when the President gave his State of the Union address…

The gentleman from Arizona brings up a great point about Solyndra and the Keystone pipeline. And I think there is a real question about what kind of an economy we want in this country. Do we have a Solyndra economy that relies on…

I thank the gentlelady for being here tonight and discussing the impact on her district with the Keystone pipeline. She brings up a good point when it comes to the price of gas. Reports that we have say that the discovery of the Canadian…

I thank you for the opportunity to address the Chamber tonight to discuss a very important issue, the issue of job creation, the issue of energy independence, and what we are doing in the 112th Congress, the Republican majority, to make…

Again, to the American people, we've heard asked often by Members of this body: Where are the jobs? I think we need to start asking: Why not these jobs? I thank the gentleman from Texas. With that, I yield to the gentleman from South…

I thank the gentleman for his leadership tonight. Before he leaves the Chamber and before I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina, I think it's, again, important to talk about something that you mentioned in the very beginning of your…

According to the Canadian Government, over 143,000 jobs in Colorado depend on our trade relationship with Canada. Further, crude petroleum is Colorado's top import from our neighbor to the north. And Colorado's not unique. Many of the jobs…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the opportunity to address the House on the issue of the Keystone XL pipeline. There are pipe dreams and pipelines out there that people talk about. Apparently, when it comes to jobs, maybe the pipeline is…

So let's talk about real reform. Let's talk about real certainty that our economy needs. We've argued for $1,000 worth of tax relief to America's working families. You're talking about $160 of tax relief. You're willing to risk…
