The idea that if you make a mess, you should be responsible for cleaning it up is not something that's hard to understand.

I encourage the inclusion of additional resources for BLM and the Forest Service in these bills to ensure they have the staff needed.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: a quarter of this country's carbon pollution comes from fossil fuel development on federal lands and waters.

And these decommissioning and coastal restoration jobs can help bridge the gap as we stand up the offshore wind industry in the Gulf, which offshore oil and gas workers are particularly well equipped to take up.

Production in the Gulf of Mexico is at an all-time high.

It is essential that we begin to phase out fossil fuel extraction from Federal lands and waters.

Do you believe that there is sufficient government oversight on offshore worker safety?

I would seek unanimous consent to submit to the record a reporting from Vox around the Louisiana wildfires.

That is staggering. When we are talking about just job creation in general, the job development of this industry has been plummeting.

So, we can start the process of spurring an enormous amount of job creation just by enforcing and demanding the cleanup of these 18,000 miles of pipeline, correct?

Americans are still at the whim of the global market when it comes to energy prices here at home.

Big Oil does not need more handouts.
