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

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

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.

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

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.

It is difficult to overstate the importance of jobs in the oil and natural gas industry to families, to communities in Wyoming, New Mexico, and other western states, they cannot afford to lose all of these oil and gas jobs.

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.

I am baffled, really baffled, by the efforts of President Biden and his supporters in Congress to destroy entire industries in America.

first, I ask unanimous consent that Senator Boozman, Senator Marshall, and Senator Durbin all be permitted to speak for up to 5 minutes prior to the vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.

I come to the floor today to associate myself with the remarks from the Senator from Oklahoma. We are here as Republicans who believe in free markets, and so do the American people. The Democrats, on the other hand, are running a 100- yard…

Last year, Mr. Chairman, you and Senator Capito and I introduced the COAL TeCC Act, which stands for 'Creating Opportunities and Leveraging Technologies for Coal Carbon.'

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.

innovation is a much better way to address climate change than regulation and taxation.

To what extent can coal-to-products manufacturing offset the economic and job losses in coal communities?

Today, carbon is becoming the dominant advanced material of the 21st century.

Coal communities in Wyoming, West Virginia, and other states have powered this nation for decades.

Let me thank you for bringing in these wonderful guests to talk about some of the most exciting research.

the International Energy Agency has repeatedly stated that if the world is going to meet its goal in addressing climate change, we will need carbon capture, utilization and storage, period.

I come to the floor today to oppose the Democrats' latest liberal spending spree. Just over a month ago, Democrats put $2 trillion onto America's credit card. They said it was for coronavirus. That was false advertising, and that is…

It is hard to imagine managing this pandemic without innovations in human gene mapping, in advanced computing and in vaccine development.

It is hard to imagine addressing environmental challenges like climate change without further innovations in energy production, in consumption.

Our competition is with China. We should stay focused on China instead of creating wasteful rivalries between federal agencies.
