Doug Lamborn

I would like to point out to my colleague, Representative Markey, that this administration has not yet seen the completion of a single wind tower off the shore of the United States in over 3 years. Not a single one. This is a sincere and…

I would urge opposition once again to this amendment, as we have done before in the House, and I would urge a ``no'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman…

When EPA asserted the right to withdraw the specification of a disposal site for a Section 404 permit after issuance of it by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who was in fact appointed to the Bench…

I am glad Chairman Lamborn hosted this important hearing today on the Obama Administration's abuse of executive power.

In 2009 the EPA withdrew the permit issued to the Desert Rock Energy Plant on the Navajo Nation.

Should the Administration win this case and grant EPA the power to retroactively revoke permits, it would destroy all certainty in permitting for projects across the country.

Yes that is the goal of this Administration's appeal, they want to destroy jobs and expand the power of the EPA to have 'extra-legal new power' to revoke permits.

This saga is one of the most disappointing legacies of federal bureaucracy in American history.

Today is about a reckless Administration and an agency that believes it is above the law as they crusade against domestic jobs and domestic energy.

If without cause an agency can retroactively veto issued permits, then how can any company, contractor or concessionaire have confidence to invest in America?

You innovate or you die. Just ask the U.S. auto industry.

The Obama Administration's war on coal is most clearly exemplified in the Spruce Mine case.

The term that's used for this program is the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. Russia has to cooperate. When they're turning around and supporting regimes like Syria with, we think, $1 billion worth of weapons transfers last year…

The mismanagement of these lands and that trust has a tragic history in our nation.

I commend you for what your tribe has done, the people, and how they have benefitted from that.

I want to add my voice to those here today concerned that the tribal consultation on this rule and other rules under development by this Administration has failed to be fair, transparent and adequate.

The fracturing rule being put forward by the Department will in my opinion continue this historic mismanagement by putting tribal lands at a clear disadvantage to the private lands next door.

Unfortunately, too often the development of those resources is hindered on federal lands by burdensome and unreliable policies of the federal government.

I appreciate your and Mr. Young's long commitment to tribal issues and specifically the focus that you have given on the important issue of energy and energy development on tribal lands.

I am seeing a lot of risk in the Administration's plan for the nuclear stockpile.

Should that commitment not be fulfilled in the future, should that lead to a discussion of withdrawing from the treaty?

Whatever happens on prices, we know there is absolutely a jobs' impact.

Just with the stroke of a pen.

Cutting or eliminating funding for fish and wildlife management, not charging industry proper fees nor collecting market based royalty rates, and removing protections for clean air, clean water, and healthy environment will not fix our…

I personally do not think we need another layer of regulation at the Federal level when states are already to my knowledge doing an excellent job.
