Some of the critics say that if we export our LNG, it is going to raise prices. That has not been proven to be true.

I would like to hear back from someone what would be some suggested legislation that we might be able to do to make sure they can't shed this.
76 gigawatts of power coming in from that. My concern was--76 gigawatts of power, on average, may be 100 power plants that aren't existing in America because of that, bringing in Canadian-subsidized utilities.
My concern is that when we do that, that means we are not--our local tax base is--it is non-existent.
All I am asking is that when we hit with NAFTA, that we have some discussion about the importing of all of this 76 gigawatts of Canadian power at the expense of American jobs.
this outsourcing of our electric generation costs American jobs and lost State and local tax revenue.
We were a proud partner in the formulation and advocacy of this effort, and are pleased to see it as a law.
The automotive industry is a huge source of American jobs including nearly 100,000 Ohioans.
Well, let me, if I could, reclaim--let me ask a more definite--rather than to keep it open ended.
We were a proud partner in the formation and advocacy of this effort, and we are pleased to see it as a law.
Is there something that we should be doing here in Congress to make sure that we don't revert back to that old way of just following the ideology rather than science?
I think I particularly appreciate the fact that you sent people to the coal fields to understand the impact of what those regulations were doing when 86,000 coal miners lost their job during the Obama administration and no one paid…
I know you have made a commitment. You said you are going back to blocking and tackling the fundamentals of rulemaking.
How can you explain these actions when it is clear that these two industries have enormous potential for growth?
It is time for Congress and the Department of Justice to shine light on these bad actors to protect the victims of this industry from exploitation and enslavement.
We owe it to the victims. But more than that, we owe it to the people-adults and children-who will be victimized in the future if we do not act now.
I really appreciate the fact that the commissioner and Pruitt all are working together to try to find a secondary source on this--a supply.
I am a strong advocate of IV&V--independent verification and validation--that we've used in NASA and elsewhere where we have someone else looking at it.
When you see a UL rating you know it's good. You know it has been done independently, and the same thing with FM.
I just don't want anything to come in between the government or whatever and energy efficiency and Energy Star.
I really want to applaud the Department of Energy's efforts to refocus the narrative and the discussion about reliability and resiliency.
