These bills are part of the same Republican agenda that yesterday attempted to push through emergency funding for natural disaster victims at the expense of a program that helps American companies manufacture super-efficient vehicles.

If the idea behind this bill is transparency, I would suggest the legislation also require inclusion of the cost of nuclear bailouts on customer bills in the Bonneville operating region.

In the growing Republican war on clean energy, today we are seeing that they are using the same tactics.

Responsible development of ANWR would create hundreds of thousands of jobs across our nation.

I think President Obama needs to sign an Executive Order creating a national monument for further Federal protection within the Arctic Refuge.

Do you want to drill ANWR? Yes. Do you want to molest Eisenhower's great wildlife reserve? No.

I urge Congress not to accept a bad deal that extends the Bush tax cuts or weakens important parts of our social safety net.

The U.S. Currently lags behind countries like Norway, China, Australia, and Nigeria in capturing taxpayer revenue for oil and gas resources.

While I believe that the supercommittee process is deeply flawed, the Natural Resources Committee has the opportunity to do something positive for the environment and taxpayers.

upwards of $300 billion can be collected from going down that route, whereas only $600 million can be collected from the route that the majority is proposing over the next 10 years.

A $200 million reclamation fee similar to the one that is in Mr. Markey's new legislation, H.R. 3446, would clean up mines and also create at least 13,000 jobs.
