Socialist power systems, and restrictions to free competition, of all the things to a socialist in America, this is at the top of the list, that I am very concerned about.

The Chu memo is about competition. It is about free and fair open markets.

I hope today's hearing can foster the cooperation between tribes and the Federal Government that will lead to energy development that supports Indian economic development and protects the health of tribal people and their lands.

The Federal Government's Trust responsibility also requires that we ensure basic protections are in place in order to meet our obligations.

Given its Treaty obligations and Trust responsibility, the United States must consult with tribes on a Government to Government basis when developing Federal policies with tribal implications.

I know the tribes have the best interest of their people in mind when engaging in energy development on their lands.

The loss of Pavilion's drinking water supply should raise concern for all.

The process can create air and water pollution that puts drinking water and public health at risk.

The development of these resources does have risks though. Hydraulic fracturing requires large amounts of water, a serious challenge in arid parts of the country.

Advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are dramatically reshaping America's energy equation, shale formations that once seemed impossible to tap and now yielding oil and natural gas, helping to reduce imports and creating…

This woman is a truck driver, and her physician in some town in Colorado told her it was safe.

What do you say to this woman? What can you do for the thousands of other women out there?

You could not reject it even though you knew it was defective. Is that correct?

But if you found that it was substantially equivalent, would you be able to reject it?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

YouTube should not become YouTrack. We should not have profiles of children being made by adults and companies trying to exploit their vulnerability.

Our bill requires consent from parents before companies collect information about children.

I do not believe that it is morally appropriate for us to not put protections on the books, legally enforceable protections for kids 15 and under.

For kids, the Internet is oxygen. They can't live without it.

When you say to them, hey, let us make sure the Keystone Pipeline oil stays in the United States, the Republicans say, oh, no.

The Republicans say no, we are going to kneecap that agency, keep the cops off the beat.
