When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas LAMP or CANDLE. I'm SURE it made the WORK seem that much more URGENT.

All the children had to wear a gas mask in CASE of a gas attack by the Germans. They TRIED to make the masks like Mickey Mouse faces so the children WOULD like them. But I didn't. They had big EARS on them.

I have a LOT of NATURAL GAS on my properties.

After all these years, it's still amazing what Obama is allowed to get away with. He says low GAS prices in 2009 were caused by a terrible economy, but then claims that the lower number of illegal aliens CROSSING the border is because of his border policies, not the same lousy economy.

At the end of drama school, I MADE a contract with myself: I'd try ACTING for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had SEEN enough small BUSINESSES to understand that that's what acting is: a small business.

In 1979 I teamed up with my friend and business PARTNER, BILL DeWitt, and TOGETHER we formed an OIL and gas company that invested through limited partnerships in oil and gas EXPLORATION.

We have for too LONG put vast oil and NATURAL gas reserves off limits to exploration and production, as The WASHINGTON POST editorial STATED this week.

Hydraulic fracking is very much a NECESSARY PART of the future of NATURAL gas.

I love gas stations. Gas stations have some of the sickest CLOTHES EVER. T-shirts, HATS, everything.

Our nation's power PLANT fleet must include a MIX of solar, wind, hydro, natural GAS and nuclear PLANTS.

For the last 50 years, the federal government has taken out of the Gulf COAST $165 billion in taxes that came from OIL and GAS off of our coast that went to the federal TREASURY, to rebuild all places in America except the place that it came from.

I hope that in future Congresses there will reemerge a recognition that climate CHANGE is a reality, that our policies to meet our energy NEEDS must also deal responsibly with ENVIRONMENTAL issues, including the damage caused by greenhouse GAS emissions.
