Angus King

Somebody asked me my priorities on energy and I said, it is storage, storage, and number three is storage.

I want to join my colleagues in thanking Senator Murkowski. Senator, you have done a wonderful job as Chairman of this Committee.

What is hard to calculate is the changes, the drastic changes to our economy, if we don't make this transition.

I believe that nuclear development has a low carbon future in this country, but I am reluctant to support significant new development until we meet that promise.

I hope you do that analysis, because we now have applications for, the last time I looked, more than half of the domestic production of natural gas for export.

We have to be thinking about a strategy of protecting and transitioning people to a different economy in a hurry.

Offshore wind is one of the greatest potential energy sources.

There are going to be transition problems along the way, and they should be dealt with consciously, deliberately, and compassionately.

The most serious threat to the domestic price of natural gas is unfettered exports.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I don't want to pack the court. I don't want to change the number. I don't want to have to do that. But if all of this rule-breaking is taking place, what does the majority expect? What do they expect? They expect that they're going to be…

We need to be more active participants in setting the standards and the guardrails and the norms for activity in cyberspace.

Winston Churchill said the only thing worse than fighting with your allies is fighting without allies.

We are the most wired and vulnerable country in the world.

I think one thing the pandemic has taught us is that the unthinkable can happen.

An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure.

We have to determine what are the crucial elements? What are the crucial sectors that need to be functioning, no matter what?

If you don't tell your adversary that you will respond, then it is not a deterrent.

If the Russians or the Chinese or the Iranians or whoever it is comes after us and does something like this, and we can attribute it to a particular country, there needs to be--there need to be consequences.

Well, I think the key is to have someone in overall charge.

There was not a single moment of partisanship or of partisan discussion.

The unthinkable can happen. In the last 48 hours, we have learned that cyber is an ever-present threat.

I appreciate the involvement and engagement of Representative Katko, who has outlined a series of bills, all of which we think are important.

I think the president waved the executive privilege argument last night when he said Bolton is lying.

I have been saying, before any of the revelations of last weekend, that we should hear from Bolton. He is the guy that knows. Here is what this case is all about.
