Teri will bring all of this experience with her to the job of Inspector General of the Department of Energy.

as we know, last week President Trump took what I believe is a historic first step in making America and the whole world more safe, more stable, and more secure. I believe his efforts to end North Korea's nuclear weapons program have…

As Chairman of the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming, Chairman Brown is uniquely qualified to discuss the ways culture, ecology and wildlife management affect life along the Wind River Range.

Thank you, Madam President. As the Presiding Officer well knows, last December, Republicans voted to cut the taxes that American families pay. We simplified the tax system. We made it fairer and cut the rates. Every single Democrat in the…

Today we are going to examine the implications of emerging technologies of America's roadway infrastructure.

In order to successfully prepare our roadways for autonomous vehicles, State and Federal agencies are going to need to engage in proactive preparation, rather than just simply reacting.

We are planning to build infrastructure that will last for decades.

The ongoing development and implementation of autonomous vehicles and connected vehicles and other innovations have the potential to fundamentally change the way our Nation's infrastructure works.

The legislation makes several commonsense reforms to bring the 40-year-old Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act in line with what modern energy markets are doing to protect consumers from what I believe are unnecessary costs.

I support a broad review of all of our existing PURPA regulations to see what's working, what's not working and what needs to be updated to account for our modern energy landscape.

We now have open access to electric transmission. We have competitive wholesale energy markets. We have abundant renewable energy.

last week I traveled all around my home State of Wyoming, and many Senators have done the same in their home States over the last week. I will tell my colleagues that the people I talked with had a great sense of optimism, confidence, and…

We clearly hear the concern and we, too, are making this a priority to get the willing nominations in.

Thank you very much, Madam Chairman.

I rise today to congratulate Annie Caputo and David Wright on their confirmation as members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Regrettably, it has taken almost a year for the Senate to confirm these excellent nominees. This is yet…

over the past 50 years, our country has gone from being a construction society to a consumption society. As a result, our bridges, our roads, our dams, and our waterways have suffered. President Trump has said that rebuilding America's…

I strongly support the decision.

I would encourage everyone to support the package nonetheless.

Well, I want to thank you, Senator Carper, for raising this issue, which is a concern for all of us.

Innovation is how America will be a leader in reducing emissions.

The legislation also reauthorizes the Water Infrastructure Flexibility Act, or WIFIA. This leverages billions of dollars in non-Federal investment for water infrastructure projects.

America's Water Infrastructure Act will grow the Nation's economy, will give State and local leaders increased input in water infrastructure projects, will cut bureaucratic red tape, and will make communities safer from dangerous floods…

I have worked closely with Ranking Member Carper to draft this amendment.

My home State of Wyoming is already a leader in supporting carbon utilization research.

In Congress, we need to support efforts like the Integrated Test Center so America can maintain its leadership in carbon capture and utilization and sequestration technologies.
