Rush Holt: “Uprisings in the Middle East show how perilous our dependence on petroleum is.”

This kind of legislation exists in a fantasy land where President Obama is somehow shutting down U.S. energy production, not in the real world.

We have not raised the liability cap from $75 million to ensure that oil companies are held accountable and taxpayers are not stuck with the bill for cleaning up spills.

Both H.R. 313 and the OMB Guidance, I think regrettably, put forward prohibitions and impediments that hinder scientific collaboration and communication.

H.R. 1587 would take the responsibility for approving oil and gas pipelines through the national parks away from Congress and hand it to the National Park Service.
