"They are taking their profits and are returning them back into technologies to make it more environmentally friendly, and that is what you want them to do. In the process, let’s not have government stand in the way of goo economic development, energy security for America, and that’s why we’re suggesting don’t tax the people that are trying to help us out of our energy crisis."       

Rep. Michele Bachmann
"The only thing standing between the American people and the 88 billion barrels of oil that are available to them on the inter-continental shelf is the Democrat-controlled Congress." 

Rep. Zach Wamp
"Votes have consequences. Policy positions and politics become very serious when you don’t do the right thing for a long period of time. Or when an excessive, extremist agenda gets in the way of the policymakers doing the right thing."

Rep. Hilda Solis
"I think that we are responsible – we do care about drilling, but in those areas that are already permitted and leased.  We haven’t seen a new refinery built in a number of years, in part because the oil companies said, ‘It’s too costly.’"
