the impact on average wellhead prices is expected to be insignificant.

Many of my colleagues continue to promote the view that if we drill for more oil on the Outer Continental Shelf, we will soon drill our way into energy independence and low oil prices.

That's why, along with my colleague, Senator Hatch and the majority leader, Senator Reid, and Senator Murkowski, we introduced the Nat Gas Act.

transitioning our vehicles to natural gas would, of course, offer the dual accomplishment of mitigating emissions and reducing dependency on foreign oil.

When the economy fully rebounds, there are few, I think, who do not believe we'll see, again, a spike in oil prices.

Truly shocking that a country that as the head of OPEC, an organization designed to artificially raise the price of oil, would actually ask for compensation for reduced demand for that product.

Developed nations have created a planetary problem and we have a duty to help those who are being impacted.

Having a strong fund for international climate change adaptation is fundamentally important because it is in the national interest.

I think while the position is pretty well understood in the United States that we do not think that China and India should be recipients of these funds, internationally I do not believe that is the case.

I am not talking about adaptation and I am not talking about the Amazon.

That would be something for negotiation and clearly something that if we come in with a significant threshold, we will be in a better position to negotiate on.
