The United States is clearly in the midst of an unconventional revolution of oil and gas that is fundamentally changing our energy position in the world.

I think it is all part of an 'all of the above' strategy.

Our prices are right around a third of what they are in, for example, Asia; a little more than a half of what they are in Europe.

Lower energy prices ensure higher standards of living for everyone in the country.

The ability to have stable, as well as low prices is very important, too.

the ability to connect that through something like a Keystone XL would be significant to take that capacity off of the rail and allow it to move to market faster.

The risk I actually think around the price domestically from LNG exports comes more from the ramp up in demand...

Consumers are actually benefitting as well. So now you have the households having about $1,000 more in their pocket by 2015.

I want to thank all of our witnesses for your expert testimony.

The incredible potential for a win-win situation here between the United States and Brazil.

Our hearts as well go out to the victims and the families of those who were killed and seriously wounded in Boston on Patriots' Day. This has been a very difficult time for our country. At that event in Boston were families from Newtown…

I rise to commend Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey for coming up with a rational approach that 92 percent of Americans all agree with in the need for universal background checks as they relate to our gun laws. The bill was taken up today in the…

Now, on one side, we hear this all the time, that we have a group of people that would like to shrink up government so small they could drown it in a bathtub.

It would seem to me that in the Administration's application of its budget, it takes that into consideration.

The people that they are drowning, of course, are the recipients of Social Security and Medicare, veterans, and the disabled.

Would you say that that is because of an ensnarled bureaucracy or more of a deliberate plan of India?

I believe it was Gandhi who said, 'I want all of the winds of the world to be able to blow freely through my house, but I will not be blown over by any.'
