Knowing what we know today, we just can't keep doing more of the same and expecting a different outcome.

There are times when help for demonstration and commercial application makes sense, but the federal government has no business picking the winners and losers of the energy market.

We absolutely must pursue ways to produce more sustainable and domestically grown solutions to meet our energy needs.

This is not a problem that we can drill our way out of.

I don't like picking winners and losers, but my goodness, if we keep subsidizing an industry that needs $650 billion a year to stay competitive doesn't sound like we're picking the winners.

I often find myself trying to imagine a situation where every American woke up every morning and got hit in the head with a hammer.

My God, what is our job here? To embarrass our grandchildren? These are serious issues. This is massive.

if I would have told you then, don't worry about it, 2 years from now we are going to have 300 million Americans vaccinated, we are going to have employers creating jobs at a faster rate than the workforce is growing, and we are going to…

That report, if I'm following it right, you know, included, among other things, predicting 14 to 18 inches of sea-level rise on the Gulf Coast by 2050.

I'm a firm believer that the only thing that matters in this life is whether your grandchildren can say they're proud of you.

``climate change effects are outpacing our ability to adapt.'' That is from the recent IPCC report. Here is what that means in America in 2022: We have coastal communities where flooding has washed out roads before the bond used to pay for…

If we're pumping CO2 under the ground to release oil, we're increasing CO2 emissions, so we've got to do green hydrogen.

One of the things that I love about this Committee is that you all have the pleasure of testifying before the only Committee in Congress that deals with nonnegotiable laws, you know, mass conservation, energy conservation.

The days of coal fired power are over because it is an economic dog.

Our problem is not that power prices are too high; it is that they are too low.

If for the last 30 years one major political party had been screaming from the rooftop that two plus two equals five, two plus two would still equal four.

Almost a year ago, I spoke here about the delays in our postal system, and a year later the calls to our office have not stopped. In fact, they have gotten more frequent and more frantic. Since the start of this year, 50 percent of all the…

I think that is really important when we move forward, that we do look at the Tribes like a microcosm of opportunity.

Fossil-fuel subsidies continue to be a primary reason for why the timeline of shifting to renewable energy sources faces further delay.

That is important, Madam Chair, because, in a hearing this week, they told us onshore renewable energy production only produced $40 million for the United States.

Methane is about 84 times as potent a greenhouse gas chemical as carbon dioxide.

Respectfully, sir, the laws of thermodynamics are not negotiable.

When it is initially released, it lasts a little over a decade in the atmosphere and then breaks down.

Committing to clean energy is converting to clean--to cheap energy.

bad things happen when the United States doesn't lead.
