Jim Bridenstine

The U.S. energy landscape is made up of the makers and the takers.

This Clean Power Plan is not the pursuit of clean.

I believe science and technology confirms that the climate is changing. I'm not in denial.

The Clean Power Plan has been falsely sold as impactful environmental regulation when it's really an attempt by our primary federal environmental regulator to take over federal and state regulation of energy.

The Clean Power Plan will cause double-digit electricity price increases in over half of our States.

EPA's plan will not significantly impact global emissions.

If the EPA gets its way, section 111(d) will be transformed from a limited provision into the most powerful part of the Clean Air Act.

If that were so, how do you explain the unprecedented step that the Chairman mentioned that the United States Supreme Court took recently to issue a stay in this proceeding?

The President's signed Paris pledge will increase electricity costs, ration energy, and slow economic growth.

The President's Power Plan is nothing more than a power grab.

The Clean Power Plan has serious legal deficiencies.

This is a war on the poor and will increase economic inequality across the nation.

President Obama has ignored Congress and the will of the people.

This hearing comes at a very critical time.

The rule violates the Constitution. Cooperative federalism programs must provide States with the meaningful opportunity to decline implementation, but the rule does not do so.

The so-called Clean Power Plan is a bad deal for the American economy, and would produce no substantive environmental benefits.

The Administration's alarmism is not good science and intentionally misleads the American people.

This is unacceptable. EPA regulations should always respect the sovereignty of the States, especially since it is the citizens in each State who bear the brunt of the EPA's rules.

This is outrageous, it is wrong, and I find these actions by EPA unacceptable.

Let us be clear. This was a treaty, and the President did not submit it for ratification.

Documents submitted by Representative Jim Bridenstine, Chairman, Subcommittee on Environment, Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives.

We need to make sure that Congress is aware and understands what the objective here is and ultimately the direction we're going to go.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Are you guys going to be able to achieve a prototype habitat for cislunar by 2018?

It indicated that in that critical orbital regime from 700 kilometers to 900 kilometers, given the current regulatory environment, we will continue to see space debris grow.
