I don't think anybody is seriously saying we should eliminate fracking.

I think we should have another hearing with the administration on these bills.

It is absolutely essential that frontline communities that are being asked to host all of the hazards play a prominent role in the siting process.

So, instead of furthering our dependance on oil, we should actually be fueling the innovation of new technologies that can provide clean, renewable energy that is both reliable and affordable, and also by increasing our grid security.

We need to break our addiction to oil and we need an orderly transition to cleaner, renewable energy sources

They do nothing to unleash our Nation's true energy potential

If we want to reduce our reliance on OPEC and other bad actors internationally, we should reduce our reliance on oil

I am a proud Democrat. I am a former environmental attorney. I am a climate hawk ready to have hard conversations about permitting reform.

The bills that we are considering today bolster an industry that is already reporting record profits

They tether us more fully to a global commodity that strains our budgets and also causes real harm to our environment

I think we can all agree that we need to be bringing down emissions and we need to be transitioning away from fossil fuels toward cleaner sources of energy.

I hope the mistakes of the past with the Affordable Care Act of trying to eliminate it for many, many years, only for it to continue to be the law of the land--over 3 million Floridians now get their care from there--that we learn from…

I think we all know that this is not because they are great environmentalists. They are doing it because that is where the future is, that is where the money is.

I agree with that, but wouldn't you love to see an economy where we could both reduce those environmental impacts on low-income communities and also have low energy prices?

I think our goal should be energy security, which means relying on clean energy produced here in the United States and working with our allies around the world.

We have to stop retreating to our corners and seeing everything as a zero sum game for whatever side.

I think that we could work together on supporting the research that we need to advance new clean energy technologies.

The only way to secure our economic prosperity, our environment, and our national security is to break the addiction to oil as soon as possible.

I was disturbed that the majority memo that I read didn't mention renewable energy sources one single time.

I have been a long-standing champion of stronger vehicle emissions rules.

Transportation is one of the most polluting sectors of our economy.

Energy independence can only happen with a rapid transition to clean energy.

Increased U.S. production will not necessarily protect American consumers from volatile energy prices because we are still connected to the international market.

These policies will not expand our potential for new renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar.

The increased importance placed on energy security as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war leads over time to a shift away from fossil fuels toward locally produced nonfossil fuels, accelerating the energy transition.
