Mr. Hawkins, I just wanted to ask, can you explain a little bit about how EOR offsets the cost of carbon capture and storage?

So, again, will you commit to me that you will not go forward with this rule until you have, you know, examined the environmental consequences for non-air, you know, parts of the environment?

Although I understand the proposal does not currently require carbon capture and storage for gas or oil power, can you assure me that the Agency will not consider requiring CCS for gas-fired power plants in the future?

It is misleading and dangerous for the EPA to quietly dismiss inconvenient facts.

I had a couple of thoughts and questions. Over the past several months, we have seen a troubling trend of the EPA deliberately avoiding transparency and accountability.

Will you commit to me today that you will heed your own science advisors and await a full review of the serious concerns raised by the Science Advisory Board before finalizing this rule?

Can you assure me that the Agency will not consider requiring CCS for modified and reconstructed coal-fired power plants?

Is the regulation required to enhance that market for the carbon dioxide?

Okay. But it is not a provision of what you deem appropriate in this rule?

If you limit EOR, it cannot be used to offset the cost of carbon capture and storage.

the President is not serious about increasing defense spending. What he is very serious about is holding proper defense spending hostage to social spending.

This is President Obama's war on the poor.

the EPA has put a bull's-eye on coal-fired power plants, a bull's-eye.

the end result of the EPA's regulatory horror show is higher prices for consumers and industry, less economic growth, and fewer jobs.

the EPA's newest regulations on fossil fuel production and refining based on this secret science charade threaten my constituents with higher utility bills, less reliable electricity, and fewer jobs in Oklahoma's booming oil and gas…

The transparency of the data that they are using to create the rules and regulations that are shuttering these coal-fired power plants are not transparent.

The United States has over 50 years of experience in human spaceflight.

If the FAA begins trampling on these companies with regulations based in speculation instead of data, we may never see the promise of commercial human spaceflight realized.

Pat Grant passed away on November 26, 2013. Whether you called her ``colonel,'' ``attorney'' or ``champ,'' Pat Grant was one of the most extraordinary women you would ever hope to meet. She dominated women's golf in Oklahoma during the…

Last week, we celebrated Thanksgiving. We gathered with family and friends to thank God for his provision, his goodness, and his mercy. But for some families, this Thanksgiving was bittersweet. Such was the case for Senator Jim Inhofe's…

I firmly believe we do have an opportunity to advance rocket science and space technology in the private sector

I can tell you there are two coal-fired power plants in Oklahoma that are being shuttered because of EPA regulations.

I have heard testimony from Admiral Greenert that because of the sequester, we are in a situation where we are going to have to give up an E-2 Hawkeye in the procurement process.
