Edward Markey actually said...

"We do not have self-sufficiency in natural gas in the United States. We import it. We do not have self-sufficiency in oil. We import it."

"We should not be a middleman to transport the dirtiest oil in the world to the thirstiest foreign nations who are our economic rivals."

"The Energy Information Agency said that if we allow for an export, just one more terminal is approved, that it would lead to a $62 billion increase in costs for American consumers per year."

"We are talking about the dirtiest oil in the world, coming through the United States, almost using us as a straw."
