I do not think we should move in the direction that would cause us to move away from exploration and production in the Gulf in a way that would undermine our national security, our energy independence, and damage the environment.

So I guess the question is, why would we expect American innovators to make massive new investments in medical research, in carbon capture, in clean energy, in advanced technologies, if they risk losing intellectual property during the…

I disagree with that decision by the President; I want to be very clear on that.

China's purchases shortfall is certainly in our sights.

The American Rescue Plan provided a total of $3.5 billion in emergency funding for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria.

It is estimated that a long-term leasing ban will cost my home State of Wyoming about 33,000 jobs.

I want to visit about grazing. You know, throughout the West there are hundreds of vacant allotments that could be permitted for grazing activities.

I think you said you intentionally exempted--I'm going to think you intentionally excluded--

Political appointees at the BLM in Washington are going to make this decision instead of the career staff.

I know we have a vote that is winding down and we need to get to the Floor.

Make no mistake, this is not a pause or a review. This is a ban, and currently there is no end in sight.

I completely disagree with her. Oil and gas production on federal lands is subject to some of the most stringent regulations in the world.

President Biden's plan to end oil and gas leasing on federal lands will devastate the economies and communities of Wyoming and New Mexico and many other states.

Oil and gas jobs really make up the bulk of jobs in many of our communities in Wyoming.

These are benefits that solar and wind energy will never be able to replicate.

I am also challenging you all to tell us how quickly we can get to 2030s target date.

Carbon capture is an extremely important technology for reducing carbon emissions.
