There was a declared war on coal, a war on fossil fuels, the EPA was weaponized against certain sectors of our economy and that’s not the role of a regulator. Renewables need to be part of our energy mix, but to think that will be the dominant fuel is simply fanciful.

The climate is changing, and human activity contributes to that in some manner.

I believe the ability to measure, with precision, the degree of human activity's impact on the climate is subject to more debate on whether the climate is changing or whether human activity contributes to it.

Whatever science comes out of EPA, shouldn't be political science... by Scott Pruitt

Whatever science comes out of EPA, shouldn't be political science.

The unrelenting attacks on me personally, my family, are unprecedented and have taken a sizable toll on all of us.

This report is simply false. General Sessions and I are friends and I have always said I want nothing more than to see him succeed in his role.

So I share your concerns about some of these decisions. I want to rectify those going forward, i also want to highlight for you that some of the criticism is unfounded and I think is exaggerated and I think it feeds this division that we've seen around very important issues affecting the environment.

These are threats that the IG has documented, we can provide this to you.

I'm not afraid to admit there's been a learning process and when Congress or independent bodies of oversight find fault in our decision making, I want to correct that and ensure that it does not happen again.

Kell Kelly's service at The EPA will be sorely missed. by Scott Pruitt

Kell Kelly's service at The EPA will be sorely missed.

Career individuals at the agency took that process through and signed off on it all the way through, i was not involved in the approval of the $ 43,000, and if I had known about it, Congressman, I would have refused it.

I was not aware of the amount, nor was I aware of the bypassing or the [ Presidential Personnel Office ] process not being respected.

I did not, we are in the process of finding out how it took place and correcting that.

This was like an Airbnb situation, when I was not there, the landlord, they had access to the entirety of the facility. When I was there, I only had access to a room.

Water is a shared resource, so finding a way to work together was vitally important.

Do we know what the ideal surface temperature should be in the year 2100 or year 2018? it’s fairly arrogant for us to think we know exactly what it should be in 2100.

We know humans have most flourished during times of warming trends. There are assumptions made that because the climate is warming that necessarily is a bad thing.

What the American people deserve, I think, is a true, legitimate, peer-reviewed, objective, transparent discussion about CO2, the citizens just don't trust that EPA is honest with these numbers.
