I applaud the intent of H.R. 4316 to track the funds expended to respond to ESA lawsuits...

The bill also ensures that data from local, State and tribal entities--those closest to the ground--be included in ESA listing decisions.

This gives States the opportunity to verify, dispute, or complement such information.

Refusing to make taxpayer-funded data available to the American public flies in the face of transparency and good science.

Posting data supporting key ESA decisions online will greatly enhance transparency.

I've said it has never been my intent to introduce a sweeping overhaul of the ESA.

I come from the wild West. I come from a place of wide open opportunity. And women in the West want freedom and liberty and the ability to create their own business. Women want to expand the businesses they already have and play a bigger…

The Lander plan is ready to go. So why wait for other plans and doing them all at one fell swoop?

Is the FWS going to meet this deadline, and if not, please explain why?

When is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service going to propose a grizzly bear delisting?

Right now, there is only a 2 percent or less success rate in recovery of species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Well, that is a failed law.

Congress must act soon to provide drought relief. Remember, it is communities like Huron, California that FEED THE WORLD!

When you are still and you are out in a meadow, you can hear the water bubble into the ground, and I swear you can hear the grass grow. It is the most amazing, fulfilling thing, and some of the happiest hours I have spent in my entire…

On March 21, the Neil Simpson coal-fired power plant unit in Gillette, Wyoming, is going to shut down 10 years before its useful life is up. And it is shutting down because the EPA created this rule called Boiler MACT. That stands for…

The distinction between EPA's analysis of best system for emission reduction for coal versus natural gas escapes me.

Are you here to testify then that these weather events absolutely were caused by climate change?

That is a unit that is only shutting down because of EPA regulations on industrial boiler MACT.

This is not sound policy.

We need to see an all-of-the-above energy policy, not one based purely on politics.

The EPA is ignoring the consequences of their rulemaking to instead set a legal precedent for mandating unproven technologies.

I look forward to working with you through the rest of this year.

Let me close by saying that I know many of my colleagues across the aisle are skeptical about whether humans contribute to climate change.

Later this month, in the State of Wyoming, a coal-fired power unit is going to shut down production for the very last time. This is going to happen 10 years before its useful life has diminished. This is happening because of Federal…

Water is essential to life.

Water transcends partisan politics, it transcends regions, it transcends the kinds of issues that divide us here in Congress.
