I join Representative Meadows in thanking you for doing this, and encourage you to continue this sort of dialogue.

Young families are crucial to anchoring the economic recovery, aren't they?

Plausible deniability only works when it is plausible, and I am not buying that you didn't know about any of this until October 2015.

Renewable energy and energy efficiency technology play an instrumental role in improving America's energy independence and in reducing carbon emissions.

However, we do have to acknowledge the growing pains this industry has faced over the past decade, and I do have my own concerns.

I hope we can all agree that the goals of the RFS are laudable and deserve all of our support.

We would welcome an opportunity to work with you on a long-term solution on abandoned mine lands...

I have introduced my own legislation to close loopholes in the coal royalties program to provide more funds for AML cleanup.

For the people of Pennsylvania, especially those in my district, the problem of abandoned mines is one that we have lived with for decades.
