On the recordFebruary 1, 2016
The Senator is a great friend, and we have a couple of good battles going on right now where we stand shoulder to shoulder, but for the most part the area that was approved for production was shut down when the problem with Deepwater Horizon was fixed rather than expanding that into Florida where the Florida waters, which Senator Nelson has been an effective advocate for, would not allowing drilling there. I do believe we have a situation where we have agreed and proved that this kind of problem would not occur now. I do believe there is a tremendous advantage for America, and we can have an advantage of low energy for American workers, for our jobs, and that way we will not send money abroad. I thank Senator Nelson for his good comments. He is highly informed on this issue. It is a pleasure to serve with him.
