You and I took a trip not too long ago from here in our Nation's Capital to a conference meeting in Pennsylvania. We stopped at a little service station, a gas station owned by a veteran out in the middle of nowhere. In rural America…

I, too, thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for those eloquent remarks on a very, very important subject. I know he has a lot of other things he could be doing tonight, but this is important to him, and I appreciate him being here to…

Absolutely. Absolutely. You hear some of those in opposition to using fossil fuels talking about how they would allocate taxpayer funds to retrain people in those communities like coal production communities. Well, my question is, where…

I now yield to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Jenkins), my friend and colleague, who is another neighbor from across the river.

Seeing as there are no further Members to speak this evening, I will summarize. I mentioned earlier that coal-fired power had provided the energy for America's innovative engine for generations. We have now got new energy resources that…

I thank my colleague very much for his passion on this issue. He understands it. As a current businessowner, he understands how important this is.

I am reminded that even this week our President is in Europe trying to advance his climate change agenda. I, too, was in Europe back in May, talking to some of our key friends and allies within the European Union. Surprisingly to some, we…

As the House begins to consider and debate important energy legislation this week, I want to take just a moment to reflect on the opportunities America has in energy development. Our energy landscape has tremendously changed in recent…

Because of the number of Members wishing to participate this evening, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the topic of this…

I am an IT guy, Chairman Wheeler, and I have been doing implementations for a long time.

Are you going to provide the information?

Did you guys have that in your consideration?

Suffice it to say the move didn't go as smoothly as we were told it would.

If DOE doesn't soon reverse its decision, we are about to add to the price tag of that D&D work...

I thank the chairman. I am grateful for all the work that the Dyslexia Caucus has done to advance this very, very important piece of legislation. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3033, the Research Excellence and Advancements for…

when states become implementers of federal policy and then they end up getting bullied by the federal government, if you do this, then X, Y, or Z will happen, that's not the role of the federal government to say that we're going to cut off…

I'm a big fan of space exploration. I grew up in the age of the Apollo Moon race.

A conversation is not going to put food on the table, clothes on the kids, pay for school supplies.

I certainly understand it because every time a new Government regulation by the EPA comes out, new offices are stood up, employees are hired, and the Washington bureaucracy grows ad nauseam.

I'm incensed and I think the American people are incensed, and I'm certain that the people that I represent in Eastern and Southeastern Ohio are incensed at the logic that's being used by the EPA as it addresses the concerns around…

It is incomprehensible that an agency in the United States Federal Government would do that to its own people.

The logic that seems to be applied to coal regions of the country where we've got communities of 1,000, 1,500 people that are all coal miners, and such, that they can just plant seeds like a seasonal garden and all of a sudden industries…

You're asking States to prematurely retire and replace existing plants with new energy infrastructure, and then claim this as a net benefit for jobs and economic growth.

This is unacceptable, to think and ask the people of southern Ohio to wait another 30 years to trickle this process along.

I think that they obviously made some adjustments in the final rule, and I think as I made it brief in my remarks today, we still have many of those questions remain and there are certain new ones too.
