But we talk a lot about all the industry supporting it, but once again we leave out the consumer.

I am trying to figure out why we are making the change to go to the 410A.

I urge Congress to act swiftly in the passage of this bill for the benefit of American manufacturers, workers, and consumers.

Is there a concern at the EPA that 410A is hurting the environment?

What about the uncertainty to the consumer?

The consumer, I think, is the one that is being left out of this conversation.

My whole point that I am trying to get to, is it really safe? Is it really safe for us to be going to a non-flammable to a flammable when the product that we have right now is safe to be in a home, it is not ozone-depleting, it is against…

What is the purpose to phase-out the HFCs? What is causing the urgency to phase it out?

Is it illegal right now for the refrigerant to be released into the air?

It says any practice. And my whole point that I am getting to is this is much more broader language.

This gives you more broad authority. Does it not?

You are just in the refrigerant space, right?

I have been in the business 20 years--actually 23 years. I have seen it.

I know the bill sponsors are friends of Indian Country, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to ensure American Indians have the access to the medical services they need.

Chairwoman Castor, you could not have said it any better during your opening remarks of the Select Committee's hearing on agriculture last month when you said that farmers are already doing a lot to combat the climate crisis and we must…

Some of my colleagues want to support the Green New Deal, whose creators say we need to get rid of cows because of their methane producing flatulence.

Congress is too hasty to pick winners and losers in our energy industry.

The United States is in the middle of an energy renaissance. We are producing more energy in the United States than ever before.

I look forward to working with the Committee to develop policies that support coastal communities, safeguard our national security, and position the United States to become the world leader of the clean energy economy.

If you're going to focus on one area, focus on all of it. It still has to do with getting people addicted to a product.

But we allow men and women to choose to die for this country at 18, and now we are saying they're not smart enough to decide if they're going to smoke or not.

I mean, if you're talking about targeting kids, let's talk about the whole product and what is actually being targeted.

The regulation can't outrun the technology. It is not there yet.
