I also hope that critics of the Administration will focus on what can we do to help the Ukraine minimize its corruption.

I'd like to talk about the power of Canada, America and Mexico as a major energy producer and supplier.

Designing an energy policy, which this committee will be focused on, promoting America as an energy super power will create thousands and thousands of jobs here at home and abroad and will help us promote democracy which is one of the…

These Nations are pleading for American natural gas.

I think the Landrieu/Murkowski team, colleagues, all of us are going to be well served by having the 2 of them lead us.

I am also here to plead with you and your colleagues to do everything within your power to help us achieve that objective.

As Senator Wyden mentioned yesterday, the Department approved a permit for the Jordan Cove facility.

The crisis in Ukraine should cause us to think anew on this process.

The last thing Putin and his cronies want is competition from the United States of America in the energy race.

Russia's annexation of Crimea illustrates both the challenge and opportunity that we face.

America can and should be an energy super power in all aspects of conventional and advanced sources of energy including new alternative fuels and alternative energy sources.

It's my pleasure to bring the Energy Committee to an opening session this morning on the subject of natural gas.

Opening up export markets helps to increase domestic supply, not close it down, increase it, of gas and natural gas.

The crisis in Ukraine has refocused on how U.S. natural gas exports can stabilize global security.

The committee needs to send a strong message that we are all in support of natural gas not one in opposition to it.

We will also break the stranglehold of tyrants and oppressors who use their energy stockpiles to crush the hopes and promise of freedom and democracy for all people, particularly women and girls.

Being sanctioned by President Putin is a badge of honor for me and the people that I represent.
