James E. Risch: “By rejecting low carbon energy options like natural gas and pushing a green only approach the Administration is doing…”

When I did REPO, which you referred to, my biggest enemy was not Democrats. My biggest enemy was the Administration.

After reviewing the Senate Energy and Natural Resources reconciliation language, I do not support the proposed provision to sell public lands.

As we celebrate 250 years of Independence, we must remember the sacrifices made to secure it and recommit ourselves to the ideals that have defined our great nation for centuries: freedom, faith, hard work, equality, and the Rule of Law.

I think it is incumbent upon us as we go forward to do that, and I commit to you that we will continue to pursue that.
