And to President Obama's credit, he never passed any laws. Let's be honest.

But moreover, out of this committee in 2007 and out in the House--or out of the conference committee, we passed a bill to increase full economy standards to 35 miles per gallon.

You know the thing about the auto industry is that they never knew what was good for them.

I thank the gentleman. And if it were possible to retard the aging process, that would be something that I think all of us could agree upon. But in the absence of that breakthrough medically, I thank the gentleman for his bipartisan wishes…

This law isn't jut outdated, it is outrageous. On the game show ``The Price is Right,'' a $1 bid is strategic. But under the Republican giveaway game show, it is an actual price that these huge industries can continue paying for the rights…

I would just like to point out that both the United States Enrichment Corporation and the Southern Company plan to utilize many expensive foreign components.

This is really a debate not over that, but really a debate over whether or not, you know, the Republicans really want to support renewable energy as opposed to any other energy source.

No, he said he would not agree to that. The head of the Canadian pipeline said he would not agree to it.

So why would we have----

The problem is that we already had that conversation here, and the head of the pipeline, the Canadian pipeline, the Keystone pipeline sat here, and I asked him just 3 months ago would he agree that the oil coming through the Keystone…

Even as American soldiers are fighting and dying to protect oil supplies in the Middle East, he thinks that it's the American Petroleum Institute--or we should really now just call it the World Petroleum Institute because that's really who…

I mean, Obama really has embraced 'drill baby, drill.' I mean, he is just incredible.

My goal would be to see it just keep going lower and lower, the percentage of oil that we import.

I don't think that it is really good for the American Petroleum Institute to say that we should be sending American crude oil abroad.

My problem is that even with Americans paying an average of $3.38 for a gallon of gasoline, that the large oil companies want to send our resources to foreign countries.

This is a very important hearing, and because it focuses upon what became a consensus after the first oil embargo, which was that it was critical for the United States to not have American produced oil be exported to foreign countries.

Does it make sense right now, Ms. McCarthy, to reduce global warming pollution instead of just trying to adapt later when the human and economic toll of global warming becomes catastrophic?

DNT:1 be turned on default.

A bill I introduced yesterday along with the Ranking Member Markey, 'Hydro 2.0' will help all Bureau of Reclamation hydro facilities achieve win-win outcomes.

I think they are wrong.

Many Democrats, including Mr. Markey, had strongly opposed earlier versions.

I mean, it is so important that the deaf and the blind do have access in the 21st century, that they are able to use all their God-given abilities to fully participate, and so it is very, very important that we get the full cooperation…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, very much.

That has always been the beauty of the 1992 and 1996 Telecom Act is that it created... conditions for Darwinian paranoia inducing competition.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia will be postponed. Amendment No. 20 Offered by Mr. Westmoreland The Acting CHAIR…
