John Hickenlooper

I commend him for building an energy policy for the State of Colorado that he said is really about developing all-of-the-above.

I'm sure you senators all know this, but there's no one who's climbed more mountains, I mean real mountains, in terms of their life and at the same time recognizes and tries to balance the needs of our communities for jobs and commerce so…

A revolution in shale gas has brought welcome news.

What we're trying to do is create a national model for how do we regulate gas extraction.

I think our future is more secure with energy that's renewable, that's sustainable.

We've seen some serious drought and wildfires that remind us in Colorado of what the potential threat is from climate change.

Let's see if there is an economic and environmental sweet spot where U.S. gas producers can make enough money to continue producing.

Increased regulation does not necessarily result in a decline in production activities.

We should--all of us--no matter our perspective or experience--disenthrall ourselves from bias and ideology to find a new path forward.

Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma and I are leading a bipartisan effort to promote the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel for state vehicles.

We are on target to be a net exporter of natural gas by 2020.

The depiction of these assault weapons again and again.

We have to get after this, and we have to make this our single most important domestic priority.

S. 3504 and H.R. 3040 have my full support and endorsement, and I request that Congress assist in funding the Federal mandate upon the State of Colorado for reimbursement of the out-of-state students in Fort Lewis College Native American…

July 20th should never be about remembering this event or the killer. It should be about remembering those victims.

We will remember you.

We will remember. A.J. Boik. Jesse Childress. Gordon Cowden. Jessica Ghawi. John Larimer. Matt McQuinn. Micayla Medek. Veronica Moser-Sullivan. Alex Sullivan. Alexander Teves. And Rebecca Wingo. We will remember you.

Everybody in this room understands that hydraulic fracturing doesn't connect to the groundwater. It's almost inconceivable that we would ever contaminate through the fracking process the groundwater.

We must rebuild and modernize our nation's transportation infrastructure in ways that are more energy efficient.

All federally assisted transportation investments must address energy and climate concerns.

This nation cannot deal with our energy and climate challenges, without confronting the transportation sector.

We can already see... an increase in property values... a significant level multiplier from that original investment.

We have got to have that as the ultimate goal, that we have got to be looking at metropolitan areas.

I think the efficiency in regional approaches to the implementation of these plans is clear.

This nation cannot deal with the energy and climate challenges without addressing the transportation sector head on.
