Since President Trump was sworn into office, he’s played a dangerous game of politics with our energy sector – slow-walking solar and wind project approvals, outright canceling offshore wind project approvals and energy project grants…

This reporting proves what we’ve known all along: the Trump administration’s decision to cancel energy project grants in states where Donald Trump lost in 2024 was nakedly political and vengeful.

Explain that discrepancy to me?

Since January 2025, wind energy projects have been stalled—in part due to a requirement to have Secretary Burgum’s review and approval of every renewable energy project on public lands.

The federal government must uphold its trust and treaty obligations to Tribes, and that includes ensuring Tribal communities have the resources they need to prepare for public health emergencies.

And I would very much support deconsolidation. Thank you.

I very much support the efforts of the Department of Justice. I think there is a very important antitrust case to be made here.

The Trump Administration has shown a strong willingness to go to any lengths to kill wind projects, including stretching the bounds of the law.

I recently introduced the Grid Connection and Congestion Management Act, which would allow generators to interconnect even faster to the grid.

We all know that there haven't always been the built-in economic incentives to put some of those things onto the grid...

Chaco Canyon is not for sale. New Mexico has an important role to play producing energy for the nation. We're the second largest producer of oil in the country, we produce far more electrons than we consume, and we have never had to…

I want to ask you, what are you going to do this time around to ensure that the proposed relief dollars that we're talking about today, that those funds go to American producers — instead of to the very foreign corporations who have…

I want to see the Strait open again. And I want to see it open where shippers can transit that Strait without being extorted by Iran.

General Caine, our military is the best in the world. And so, I don't think any of us should be surprised with the technical execution of its attacks on the Iranian regime's forces. They've been flawless. What I don't want [is] us to…

Nearly a year after the change in USPP’s pursuit policy, there is little to no evidence that it has reduced crime or improved outcomes.

During this once in a generation moment, I continue to believe that regulatory certainty, and the freedom for commissioners of independent agencies like FERC to act in a way to provide that certainty, will be critical in meeting the energy…

Now, more than ever, FERC’s mission to ensure that utility rates remain just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential is critical to making sure millions of Americans can keep their lights on.

FERC choosing to address major electricity users, like data centers and advanced manufacturers, is an important step in the right direction.

The administration is slow walking and stalling 73 GW of solar, 43 GW of storage, 30 GW of onshore wind, and 16 GW of offshore wind.

Electricity prices are rising, and electricity supply cannot keep up with demand.

We urge the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to go back to the drawing board and work directly with Tribes and states on a new proposal that actually improves the consultation process without undermining the rights and voices of…

We support efforts to modernize and improve the Section 106 review process, but that cannot come at the expense of meaningful Tribal consultation or the expertise of the people who have protected these places for generations.

Let’s be clear: there is a difference between making the consultation process work better and cutting Tribes out of the process.

This proposal disrespects the expertise that states and Tribes have in protecting our national history and culture, and it erases the requirement for the federal government to meaningfully consult with Tribal governments before they take…
