"If we are really serious in the Senate about what we are doing in terms of increasing our long-overdue requirement to up our oil resources, our oil production and supply, we know how. We have opportunities from our neighbors to the north in Canada with the Keystone Pipeline. We clearly have opportunities in Alaska from the Outer Continental Shelf, from the Rocky Mountain West. We still import about half of our oil supply and about half of that is from OPEC."

"There are some things we can do in order to help improve that trend. For example, we could open ANWR for drilling. We could open our country’s vast Federal public lands to development of oil shale. It is a little known fact that in three Rocky Mountain States, a small segment of Rocky Mountain States—Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming—we have an estimated 1.2 trillion barrels of proven recoverable oil reserves locked up in oil shale. Now, 1.2 trillion barrels is a lot of oil. That is comparable to the combined petroleum reserves of the top 10 petroleum-producing countries of the world combined—just in one segment of three Rocky Mountain States."

"Just yesterday, at the Intertribal Transportation Association meeting in Minnesota, we had tribes from the Rocky Mountain region, the Great Plains region, the Midwest region, and the Navajo Nation who all agreed that MAP 21 sets a dangerous precedent to allow Congress to overturn the tribal rulemaking process, as it is a threat to tribal sovereignty, and we are hearing more and more concerns every day about the opposition coming from those who feel they have been circumvented by Congress in this act."
