this amendment would strike a provision that gives the EPA $45 million in a slush fund to use eight different sections of the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. The EPA will undoubtedly try to use this money to develop rules…

I rise today to support Senator Sullivan's resolution of disapproval to nullify the Biden administration's rollback of reforms to the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, process. We have heard a lot about permitting and how…

One of the most important duties of Members of Congress is to certify the winner of presidential elections.

I would like to thank the Senator from Maryland, Mr. Cardin, for his good, hard work with Senator Cramer on the subcommittee. Senator Cardin and I share the Chesapeake Bay. He has got a lot more of it than I do, but we have worked on those…

I feel like the Senator from West Virginia right now. I am very glad that we are going to be passing these two recycling bills. I will just briefly say I am the cosponsor of the bipartisan Recycling and Infrastructure Accessibility Act…

I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered…

I am strongly opposed to the third nominee we are voting on today: Joe Goffman, President Biden's nominee to serve as Assistant Administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.

Thank you. Could you also discuss what having the proximity to conventional oil and gas operations like refineries and petrochemical facilities affects the economy of scale of CCUS?

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

I think it is really refreshing to have a goal of cleaning the environment and decarbonizing where we can both, from each side of our aisles, because sometimes it would be very sensitive subjects, we can work to find solutions.

Reliable, affordable nuclear energy is necessary to power our homes and businesses and as an energy source that both you and I strongly support.

Significant further reductions in emissions will come from private sector innovation, not top down government mandates.

I thank Senator Manchin for such a great tribute to our good friend Woody Williams and his family, to his generation, and to his love of our country and the love of freedom. Thank you for the leadership that you showed to make sure that…

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.

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

in March, I spoke here on the Senate floor about the highest reported gasoline prices ever. At that time, according to AAA, the average price in West Virginia, my home State, was $4.12. Well, today--today--West Virginia's average is up to…

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.

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.

Anything we can do to make them safer, and keep them healthy is important.

I think it is a great way to be here on Capitol Hill to see not only Government working, but to meet so many other bright young people around the country who are motivated to learn about being public servants.

If you are on the sidelines and don't participate, you don't have the right to complain.

We are not happy about the geopolitical situation, we are happy we got more miners to work.
