Mark Udall

Ken has worked to extend critical renewable tax credits, protect our natural resources, and encourage environmentally responsible development of domestic energy sources.

He's spoken eloquently about what he calls 'The Forgotten America,' and he has been a steadfast champion of the land, water, and people of the West.

He's worked across the aisle and with diverse stakeholders on many issues, ranging from healthcare to national security.

I think that your reputation as a consensus-builder and a centrist will truly serve you well.

I appreciate the opportunity that you and I had to discuss some of the issues that will be in front of you.

I believe that this man, who's a fifth-generation son of the West, is uniquely qualified and experienced to lead the U.S. Department of the Interior.

I look for your commitment to working closely with each of us as you consider and develop the Department's natural resources priorities.

We don't have the luxury of picking one source of energy.

I think that there's a way the stimulus package can be used to nourish those companies at a time of great pain.

We should permanently end the moratorium on gas and signal to the energy community that they are able to invest here at home to produce energy and jobs here at home.

I would hope that as part of the stimulus package, again speaking personally, there is a focus on getting credit access for those companies in the form of loan guarantees and the like.

I look forward to having additional conversations with you, not only about a carbon tax, but about subsidies.

We have to focus on this near term opportunity both in the stimulus package and in the TARP.

We should reward them for efficiency improvements in those buildings.

We should also extend the renewable tax credit for now.

I think that my first priority would be to invest, make sure that the economic stimulus package that the Congress enacts includes significant investments in low carbon and energy efficiency infrastructure.

I look forward to working with you and Senator Bayh and everybody to get this right.

We should raise the ceiling on the loan guarantee program so we can get more nuclear power plants built.

We need to find business models that reward efficiency both at the supply side out on the consumer side.

Thank you, Chairman Bingaman. I am honored to join the hearing today and am looking forward to working with you and the other Members of the Committee this Congress.

I'm pleased to support this amendment as co-chair of the STEM Education Caucus along with my colleague, Dr. Ehlers, from Michigan. We've long worked to create emphasis on science and math education programs. These areas of study are…

I support ordering the previous question because I think the House should proceed to considering H.R. 5719, the Taxpayer Assistance and Simplification Act, without unnecessary delay. Some have urged that Members oppose ordering the…

Today, I want to focus on one of the major enablers of America's highly successful space program, namely our highly skilled science and engineering workforce. As we celebrate 50 years of exciting accomplishments in space, we witness the…

I am very certain that that is not the case, and I would just again remind all of my colleagues that the intent here is to do this right. Not to stop this from happening, but to do it right, given our history of oil shale development or…

Mr. Speaker, I just want to associate myself with the comments of my good friend, Representative Hall. And I think I speak for him and every other Member of this body when I express the opinion that there is nobody that is more respected…
