The Biden administration's support for CCUS is crucial to deploying these technologies.

Despite what headlines suggest, climate change is an area where we have found bipartisan solutions.

We need to get the government to get out of the way and get off the backs of these responsible energy producers...

I especially question granting EPA new powers given the agency's reaction to last month's decision by the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. EPA.

I think uniformity, obviously, is easier, and if you are having issues with meeting deadlines, and having clear roadmaps are always much, much more beneficial.

It does come as a bit of a surprise to hear a blanket pronouncement such as this, in particular, when the EPA's appropriations over the past few years have been developed in a bipartisan way.

The Service must play a key role in ensuring those projects are built in a timely manner.

On the Justice40 issue, I have tried to, like, dig deep into that to see--it is pledged that 40 percent of the funding that is going, is going to go to justice communities.

I think we all see what is happening in Europe, we know that the reliance on our own natural--our own energy resources, in an all-of-the-above energy plan, and we are feeling--I think most of us in energy states feeling as though that is…

I just want to ask for your pledge again, that folks in the energy industry have an ability to come, knock on your door, and actually have their side of the story heard.
