Hatch Statement on Secretary Perry’s Energy Development Remarks
Washington, D.C.—Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the senior Republican in the United States Senate, issued the following statement on Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s remarks about American energy development:
“I was encouraged to hear Secretary Perry’s remarks today about American energy development, which is critical both to our economy and our national security. As we look towards the future, we should thoughtfully examine how best to leverage the vast resources available to us here in the United States. The energy sector is a proven pillar of our economy, providing good-paying jobs and lower prices to hardworking Americans. I’m committed to working with the Trump administration to ensure that responsible coal development remains part of a diverse national energy portfolio.”
