Hyde-Smith: Mississippi cares.
Haaland: will work to understand first. Many career people who she will learn from too. Understands senators will know more than she.
HS: endangered species and how can we lessen burden on govt? Regulatory process is hard. Roadblocks and pesticide review?
Haaland: that sounds interesting. I appreciate and think farmers are important and deserve a voice. People need to sustain themselves.
HS: low income homes pay more for energy costs. By restricting, they are mad and ice storm scared them. We had to find other ways and use alternate energy. Why would we stop for energy affordability.
(Full disclosure, I’ve lived in a very rural part of MS and I HIGHLY doubt this woman fully understands her low income constituents.)
Haaland: is giving a well thought out response mentioning innovation.

Haaland: we have solar panels and our bill is $10. You don’t need gas for energy.

KS Boy Scout back up. I missed his name again. Prairie Chicken right of passage in his family. Telling story. His name must be Roger Marshall, or that is what he calls himself. He has since stalked all things prairie chicken. Drought caused issues. Voluntary conservation was wonderfully responsive.
How do you feel about voluntarily conservation and how do they graduate from list?
Haaland: lovely story. Thank those ranchers. Science and we need them to recover. I will pay close attention to this issue. She wants his grandchildren to have the opportunity for that same story.
He wants graduation expectations
Haaland: I imagine it varies from species to species. Animals live by instinct, so that is also important. I’m not there yet, I don’t have the deep dive in for to speak on.

KS: “whisky is for drinking, water is for fighting” Wildlife refuge vs farmers Mentions Ducks Unlimited Why can’t we share water?
Haaland: water rights are tricky. There are water lawyers.
Time up, but Manchin extended to finish, he continues without his mic.
Haaland supports farmers.

Wyden less smiley today, I’m less uncomfortable listening.
You seem to be a bipartisan leader in your current role. What I’ve heard you say is what I hear from my most conservative constituents. Collaboration for protection of treasures and jobs and getting it done. Water conflict and tribal water issues, please discuss.
Haaland: Navajo nation has to drive 20 miles to fill barrels for water. They may have running water, but it isn’t drinkable. We should look at it in a new way, especially with drought. Reserve. Recycle. No one in dessert without water would be ultimate goal.
Wyden: we need a new lense. First one to mention his support in this hearing. He goes on as to why and it is all the things everyone from farmers to ranchers to environmentalists. When they wanted to look at a bill and someone in congress to help, she was who they wanted to help. He is “all in”.

Barrasso: Acting Sec currently not answering any questions. Resubmitting for her to answer the 22 questions.
More animal protection talk. Why does she like the grizzly bears so much? What about the law? He is clearly concerned all animals will be put on endangered species list.
Haaland answering and he yells to interrupt “but I’m talking about the LAW!” Haaland replies that she will follow the law.

Now we are asking about masks on national grounds.
BIden’s build back better and Karey. WAPO fact checker quotes about false hope in Karey’s statement. False facts and millions of jobs in o&g.
Haaland: I want people to work. I want people to have secure futures.
B: calling her replies rhetoric and saying they end up as failures.
End

Daines doesn’t understand 30:30. Moving BLM to Grand Junction, why did you go against?
Haaland: quite frankly, the Indigenous people were very vocally against it. I see the point, but we also lost a lot of good career people who didn’t want to move there.
Daines: back to grazing permits.I have concern for those who hunt, trap, love grazing. No net loss concerns.
Haaland: supports outdoor lifestyle.

Haaland makes sure it is understood that public comment periods actually extend to ensure those who care but do not have regular internet access can be heard.

Murkowski wants to ensure that if we look to innovate energy solutions, we ensure to not forget the energy venerable. Gas may be the only answer when there is no sun.
Me: but when the sun is up all day and is available, why not use that resource when it is and compensate when necessary with gas and oil?
