John Barrasso

Not only can we do this, we must do this.

I question the need for BLM's role in states like Wyoming which already regulate hydraulic fracturing on federal land.

Is it your view then that this so called determination would be legally binding?

This Administration is actively impeding many of the best economic opportunities in the West.

I have a final question on President Obama's so called strategy to reduce methane emissions.

I find your plans to ignore federal law troubling.

Isn't now as good time as any to lift this ban of exporting crude oil from the United States?

I want to know how this is consistent with the President's claim that this is the most transparent Administration in history.

It is something many of us here oppose and are going to continue to try to dismantle.

The DOE announced this week that after 10 years of work, it was canceling the FutureGen, the CCS Project, 'in order to best protect taxpayer interests.'

When a majority of States object to a rule, I think you have done something wrong.

On February 10, 2015, Chairman Barrasso (R-WY) introduced the IRRIGATE Act (S. 438), establishing an Indian Irrigation Fund in the Treasury of the United States.

One of the most significant issues in Indian Country is the need to access capital.

Housing is crucial to establish stable homes and to empower Indian people.

We need to ensure that our tribal communities have the tools they need to succeed.

The success of this program NAHASDA is because it has been carried out at the local level by the tribes themselves.

I joined 14 U.S. Senators in sending a bipartisan letter to President Obama on Ukraine.

I am certain that the voting has started on the Floor of the Senate.

In your testimony you stated that the United States is in an excellent position to improve liquidity on the global LNG market thereby improving conditions for Central and Eastern European countries to access LNG.

So is it fair to say that the Department of Energy would be able to comply with the deadline that's set in the bill?

Study after study have shown that LNG exports will create good paying jobs all across America, good paying jobs in states like Oregon, West Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.

LNG exports will also reduce our nation's trade deficit which currently stands at $39 billion.

Our bill ensures that the Secretary will make a timely decision on LNG export applications and that legal challenges to LNG export projects will be resolved expeditiously.

Finally, LNG exports are, for the United States, a powerful means to bring about positive change throughout the world.

This legislation, championed by Chairman Barrasso in the Senate and embodied in the 114th Congress as S. 209, would provide tribes with greater control and flexibility to develop their traditional and renewable energy resources.
