How do we keep the lights on so people's lives will not be endangered and we not lose people?

This has been extremely interesting. It's something we've been looking forward for a long time.

We've got coal. We've got gas. We've got wind. We've got solar. We've got it all.

We are setting ourselves up for a major reliability crisis.

I want you to know how pleased I am that you did this in such an expedited manner.

The citizens will be vulnerable in the price, right?

We've been working with EPA. They've been cooperative with us. But we're still trying to get the message out that over dependence on one fuel, on gas, is very volatile pricing and it's not as reliable.

These two base load fuels provide almost 60 percent of the power this country demands.

They're going to need the power. They needed it this----

Without these base load fuels our grid can't function.

We try to use everything we have, our coal, our gas, our wind, our solar, everything.

Anyone that doesn't think that's true they are deniers.

I believe that we need to do that more in this country and look at a way to be more energy independent by using all and not writing one off against the other.

I want to thank first of all, Senator Landrieu and congratulate her on her first hearing as our new chairman of this committee.

A little bit better policy for global climate if we basically were using the technology that we have been able to reduce to particulates in this country and make, through our trade policies being used in other countries that are polluting…

Put your money where your mouth is. You want to help, let's step up with some additional funding to help the Ukraine

You've got to tell some of our friends that truly don't want to hear the facts of what we're dealing with in the country and how we can do it much better.

If it wasn't for the export market we'd have no market in West Virginia.

It's unbelievable. I attended a Wounded Warrior dinner and talked to a young man. It didn't look like he'd been injured...

I have trouble explaining to West Virginians, and we're a very hawkish State. We like a good fight...

Sir, can you honestly tell the American people, can you tell the people in West Virginia, that we should be in Afghanistan and stay in Afghanistan, it's our purpose to do that?

It's hard for people in West Virginia, and for me to go home and explain to them how we can build something that costs that much, take it over there, and just disregard it like it wasn't any value at all.

It has the appearance of a Russia-Putin model.

I am very concerned about what we see and a lack of oversight, if you will, and also the volatility of this.

I am concerned about the Special Forces within the National Guard, the 19th and 20th Groups.
