Our whole premise as we approached this permitting bill was: How do we create a faster process, not lower the bar on standards.

My Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is going to generate benefits for our skilled workers in the state of New Mexico for a very long time to come.

We want to build the jobs in New Mexico that you can build a family around, and that's what unions are all about. That's the way I grew up with my dad.

As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, today and every day, let us honor the rich history, cultures, and contributions of Tribal Nations and Native people — and stand shoulder to shoulder with Tribes to ensure their languages…

Since time immemorial, Native people have called the land we now know as New Mexico and the United States home. Their histories and legacy deserve enormous respect. That is why I am proud to continue leading the effort in the Senate to…

And some of the secret sauce in this was just the fact that we had four people who were genuinely committed to a balanced package that both sides could support.

We’re going to get to ‘yes’ faster. We’re also going to get to ‘no’ faster when a project is harmful.

It was not easy. It took longer than we would like, but everyone was committed to getting there.

“will mean more energy on the grid, more good-paying jobs, and lower electricity costs for families and businesses,”

In the short term, what I'd really like to see is a hand-in-glove approach between Russia and the World Health Organization. That would tell us a lot.

I would be very concerned if this were an engineered pathogen. I don't have any unique information saying that is the case. But if it were the case, that would be cause for alarm.

In the permitting bill, that we just released text on a little over a week ago, we mandate that [data centers] have to pay for both the electricity and for any grid upgrades. And we prohibit passing those costs along to average ratepayers…

Military families already sacrifice so much to serve our country — they shouldn’t also have to worry about whether their children have enough to eat or can access the meals they need at school.

FERC has never been in the business of picking winners and losers—and they shouldn’t start today.

While issues remain with generator interconnection backlogs, favoring one form of generation over others is not a smart, cost-saving path forward.

We get shoddy work, like the Reflecting Pool, with taxpayer money funneled to the president’s donors.

Instead, we are spending our time and attention 'liberating' light bulbs that industry doesn’t even make and most of us haven’t even thought about in a decade.

Unfortunately, the Chairman has declined to bring weatherization bills up for a vote today.

At a time of rising electric bills and increasing new demands on the electric grid, this Committee should focus on lowering costs and increasing reliability.

The public and local communities deserve an opportunity to voice their concerns about visitor safety and the protection of federal lands and ecosystems.

As Americans, we have an obligation to protect and preserve our national parks at every turn.

Let’s be clear: our national parks are no place for hosting professional sports games. Building stadiums in our national parks defies logic and is just plain wrong.

“Our bill puts teeth behind that principle,”

“Any permitting deal is going to have to guarantee that no Administration of either party can weaponize the permitting process for cheap political points,”
