Jim Inhofe

I have always thought that risk equals lives. Does it not?

I am glad to say that we convinced this body to vote 97 to 1 against it.

First, I'll say that Republicans are for clean air. In fact, I championed one of the first bills to reduce mercury--the Clear Skies Act.

We are looking at the end of the rope. We are suffering, and we don't need another hammer on our head.

Cap and trade was defeated, thanks to the U.S. Senate.

I believe this rule is part of the Administration's ongoing war on coal.

As the President said when he was running for office, under his plan electricity costs would necessarily skyrocket.

This rule is a bad bet for the public.

Unfortunately, there is a misunderstanding when we first put the language in, and a lot of people thought it was something where we were taking on another Libya or that kind of situation.

I have often looked at what we are trying to do with the LRA as kind of a 1206/1208 train-and-equip type of thing, that we are assisting them.

I sit back and I see that it is accepted now that we in the United States have the largest recoverable reserves of oil, gas, and coal of any place in the world.

The point I am trying to make here is what happened over there and what happens here, we are talking about two totally different things.

I disagree with everything he is saying.

Improvements based on some of the things we have done?

The public is best served by a commission that functions collectively and collegially to pool their expertise.

Ensuring the safe use of nuclear energy is a very serious job.

Thank you, Chairman Boxer, for holding this hearing and focusing on implementing the lessons learned from Fukushima.

I can't support issuing this license as if Fukushima had never happened.

I just came to apologize for not being here.

Ballistic missiles continue to pose a threat as they become more survivable, reliable, and accurate at greater range.

The EKV was never meant to be the permanent kill vehicle for GMD and the current system is heavier, less capable, and less reliable then I think it can or should be.

My concerns about President Obama's PAA have been compounded by recent reporting by the Defense Science Board and the GAO.
