The policies that the Democrat party is talking about are top-down Washington, D.C. policies that are going to pick winners and losers in the energy sectors.

This administration under Biden attacking U.S. energy, going after the lifeblood of our economy, it is absolutely I think disgusting.

We do not want to exchange U.S. energy independence for dependence on China.

To state it again, these are successful government programs that deliver real results.

if you are going to have 18 States that just can't participate because they already have restrictions on these municipal broadband networks, that is pretty darn serious.

Congress must work to find solutions to address this digital divide.

I think this is one of the few good things that came out of the coronavirus situation, is the advent of telemedicine.

One way that we can ensure that we meet this goal is to have better broadband connectivity, which has been found it be a key aspect in increased economic growth for rural businesses.

Workforce development is key to sustaining jobs and economic growth. Manufacturers, small businesses, trade unions, and industry groups are concerned about the increasing skilled labor shortage. Unfortunately, current law limits the use of…

Having access to the internet and broadband services like this is just a basic infrastructure issue.

I think if we want to continue to preserve rural America and our rural way of life, this is something that we have to tackle.

I am not sure I understand how an administration that claims they want to do infrastructure, the first thing that they did is they canceled the Keystone pipeline.

I am a little concerned that there might be more money in a proposal out there for electric vehicles than there are for maintaining and upgrading our roads and bridges.
