“America needs a regulatory environment that reflects the vast differences between fusion and fission and allows these technologies to be implemented and managed accordingly. We also need a national energy framework that can bolster this emerging technology with research and development and support the integration of fusion energy into an “all-of-the-above” energy portfolio.”
“Nuclear is one of our most reliable and one of our cleanest energy sources, yet China and Russia are doing more to prioritize nuclear than our own country.”
“U.S. LNG is up to 30% cleaner than Russian natural gas. U.S. LNG exports can help Europe keep the lights and heat on during this unprecedented time while simulatneously bringing down global emissions.”
“This morning at COP27, I joined a discussion about the importance of investing in American innovation and manufacturing within the renewable energy sector. We must take advantage of our own resources to prevent countries like China from monopolizing the industry.”
“When you look at what we’re doing in the agricultural space, it has a huge contribution, not only on conservation, but on energy production. We do ethanol biodiesel, we use manure from livestock production to go back into energy sources, the heat that’s generated from digesters goes back in so you have a closed-loop system....
“70% of solar panels are made in China, the vast majority of processing for various minerals is in China. China is not friendly to us, they’re the world’s biggest emitter, and I don’t care what kind of rhetoric they say, they have no intentions of decreasing those emissions. So, what are we going to do...
“My district has a unique component that I think all conservatives share. They care deeply about the land we inherit from our fathers and mothers. They care deeply about leaving it better than they found it. Yet ironically, we’ve been branded as not caring about the environment. Why? Because we push back on the litmus...
“I think what’s most important is taking things into bite-sized pieces. Let’s talk about redesigning the grid to be able to handle distributive generation. Let’s talk about investment in resilience. Let’s talk about concepts for conservation and energy efficiency where you actually reduce the cost of energy consumption for residential and commercial consumers. Bringing down...
“The most basic way to look at the global energy challenge is to understand that American manufacturing is cleaner. Global industry – China in particular – is much dirtier than U.S. industry. This is an area where America has and can continue to lead.”
“We can be energy independent and we can still reduce emissions. And that’s what the caucus is all about. Republicans going on the offensive and saying, ‘Look, we care about the environment, we want to reduce emissions, here’s our plan.'”
