The #NEWSAct implements coordination b/w federal agencies on energy & water efficiency research & development programs. Establishing a coordinating body, the Nexus of Energy and Water Sustainability Office, will allow for greater impact and efficiency across agencies. https://t.co/VkcLv8Yv1T — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Energy and water are inherently linked. A great deal of water is used to produce energy, and significant energy is used to purify and transport water. I’m proud that we advanced out of Committee my Nexus of Energy and Water for Sustainability Act or #NEWSAct. https://t.co/TS2F3UYkuK — PolitiTweet.org

This offshore revenue sharing will also help Alaskans address pressing issues such as the provision of assistance for villages dealing with the impacts of climate change and the development of lower cost and clean energy generation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

@SenBillCassidy @SenDanSullivan This is an issue of fairness – we build the infrastructure, we produce the resource, and we also bear the impacts. When the time comes to capitalize on offshore production, this revenue sharing will help Alaskans meet a number of critical purposes, such as protecting our coasts. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The COASTAL Act is on its way to the full Senate for consideration. I cosponsored this bill by @SenBillCassidy, and authored a title with @SenDanSullivan to establish a revenue sharing program specific to Alaska, to provide parity with other onshore and offshore development. https://t.co/4SMzNS9VS5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I’m proud that the Energy & Natural Resources Committee today advanced the AGILE Act, legislation I introduced w/ @Sen_JoeManchin. The Advanced Geothermal Innovation Leadership Act gets us closer to tapping into geothermal’s promising potential. https://t.co/1LGXviErFT https://t.co/HY6cqOoE95 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This bill establishes a grant & technical assistance program at @ENERGY to advance the deployment of cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies for rural electric cooperatives & municipal utilities in Alaska & throughout the nation. For more info, click here: https://t.co/P24gdo1JZs — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Protecting our electric grid from cyber threats is essential to our national security. I’m encouraged that my legislation, the PROTECT Act, advanced out of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee to be considered before the full Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As we continue to put together a legislative package that benefits all Americans, I’m proud we were able to advance these bills from committee. For more information, click here➡ https://t.co/sG8A72wvL9 https://t.co/GnIltuLRB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We examined 15 energy & lands-related bills, advancing legislation I supported which would establish an OCS revenue sharing program for Alaska & address the maintenance backlog at our National Parks. We also advanced my bills to promote geothermal and improve our cybersecurity. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I chaired an Energy & Natural Resources Cmte business meeting to consider 3 nominations: Dan Brouillette to be Secretary of @Energy, James Danly to be a Member of the @FERC, & Katharine MacGregor to be Deputy Secretary of the @Interior. https://t.co/sG8A72wvL9 https://t.co/bCx4zQmBXC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The benefits of the Ted Stevens Arctic Center for Security Studies could help advance defense readiness, develop awareness & improve allies to support multinational security cooperation. It’s something I’m excited to be working on & I think our friend Ted would approve as well. https://t.co/QKAFWeV1lM — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This center would be additive in nature & would aim to collaborate with other structures that are already doing good work. But how we incorporate the expertise of Alaska Natives that has been informed by centuries of experience living in the region must also be a priority. https://t.co/drNWMzS971 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The center's goal is to find solutions to the greatest security challenges of the circumpolar Arctic & to facilitate deeper engagement. The #Arctic is an evolving world, so as we see impacts from climate change—greater access but also greater threats—what are we doing to prepare? https://t.co/x16DfzAQak — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As we think about the role that Senator Stevens envisioned for #Alaska in terms of defending the U.S. but also our broader, global role, now is the time to give the DoD the tools and the ability to foster the research & the dialogue that will be critical to our nation’s security. https://t.co/tyWVR3uS81 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Ted Stevens understood the importance of Alaska’s geo-strategic location. Ted was a visionary in so many areas, including understanding the promise, but also the challenge, of the #Arctic & how we ensure that in this remote region, we are prepared & able to protect. https://t.co/46er4tVnij — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Yesterday I took to the Senate floor to honor my dear friend, the late U.S. Senator Ted Stevens’ 96th birthday by highlighting a bill I introduced w/ @SenDanSullivan that would create the Ted Stevens Arctic Center for Security Studies. Full video here: https://t.co/qWEU7kxDSS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Seeing the very first F-35 “Alaska One” off the production line was an exciting milestone, but I look forward to seeing it at its new home in Alaska even more. https://t.co/DkV7bKQ3ib — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This visit and tour was a tremendous opportunity for Dan, Don and I, along with Fairbanks community leaders, to view these warfighters up close and understand more about the extraordinary nature of what we are able to do and produce. https://t.co/diBivbAse9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

.@SenDanSullivan, @repdonyoung, and I have fought hard, alongside Alaskans in the Interior—with a particular thanks to the Fairbanks Tiger Team—ensuring we utilize Alaska’s geo-strategic location for the broader national security. https://t.co/EEsEsBduBs — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

To see the national role Eielson Air Force Base will play with the upcoming arrival of these two squadrons of F-35’s has been a dream of the Alaska Congressional Delegation since I joined the Senate over sixteen years ago. https://t.co/Xp6wCK8FHa — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Great opportunity to join @SenDanSullivan, @repdonyoung, & military and community leaders from the Fairbanks region in Fort Worth, TX today to visit Lockheed Martin’s assembly plant. We toured the production line & saw the F-35s destined for Eielson Air Force Base this spring. https://t.co/vslNgl2GEo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Shortly, in light of the late U.S. Senator Ted Stevens’ birthday, I’ll be speaking on the Senate floor on a bill I introduced to create a new Department of Defense (DoD) Regional Center in the Arctic named in his honor. Watch live here: https://t.co/i4OdRq6MO7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

These innovative approaches to ocean data & observation are the focus of my bill w/ @SenWhitehouse, the BLUE GLOBE Act, which gives @NOAA additional tools to continue to innovate & advance our understanding of our oceans while tackling problems like illegal fishing. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The importance of scientific research & assistance that @NOAA-funded programs provide cannot be understated. These cutting-edge science & tech strategies help us address the challenges facing our understanding of our oceans & continue to build coastal state economies like Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Wasilla Police Chief Gene Belden officially retired this week after years of service to Alaska. I thank him for his dedication to public safety & wish him luck in his new endeavor. https://t.co/lgldwQQrvz — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution I introduced w/ @SenWarren urging the U.S. Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp series honoring women veterans of the Armed Forces. Read more here: https://t.co/9u2QJEv9Ii — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

In addition, the bill awards an additional Congressional Gold Medal to honor all women who contributed to NASA during the Space Race by serving as mathematicians, programmers, and engineers. It's my hope this will help inspire young women across the nation to pursue STEM careers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The bill honors Dorothy Vaughan, Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson & Dr. Christine Darden with the Congressional Gold Medal for their work at NASA and their impact on our nation’s history as the agency was emerging from segregation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I'm proud the President signed into law the Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act, a bill I introduced in the Senate alongside @ChrisCoons & @SenKamalaHarris. https://t.co/gFyi8Xw9xd — PolitiTweet.org
