Soon the Kvichak River currents will provide the residents of Igiugig emission-free electricity. This will demonstrate the potential of river marine renewable & microgrid solutions as Alaskans continue to find innovative energy solutions that can be adopted across the globe. https://t.co/4a7F0BVZYK — PolitiTweet.org

We still have more work to do on this bill, but this CBO score is confirmation we are heading in the right direction. Throughout this process I am committed to protecting access to care for those in rural and remote regions, while still saving Americans money across the board. — PolitiTweet.org

Through legislation such as my Nuclear Energy Leadership Act, which just advanced out of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee yesterday, our nation can maintain its position as the leader in nuclear energy without ceding ground to Russia or China. — PolitiTweet.org

As we look to clean energy solutions, advanced nuclear reactors could be the key to an affordable clean energy system as they are some of the only technologies that are both emissions-free and reliable. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I spoke at the New Nuclear Capital 2019 Summit on the value of advanced reactors for climate & energy security. Small nuclear reactors & microreactors can produce reliable electricity w/ zero emissions at a size appropriate for the grid, solving energy access & climate concerns. https://t.co/NKxSVDqaCe — PolitiTweet.org

If you want an iPhone, electric vehicle, F-22, or just about any other technology – you need minerals. They are the foundation of our modern society, key to our ability to lead the industries of the future & it is past time we act decisively to rebuild our domestic supply chains. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We also advanced the American Mineral Security Act, which responds to a very significant threat to our economic competitiveness and our national security – our significant and increasing dependence on foreign minerals. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Among the bills was my Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (#NELA), which aims to restore U.S. leadership in nuclear energy, by helping to develop a range of advanced reactors technologies that are clean, safe, and reliable. https://t.co/GxcfYW3TTz — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I am proud of the bipartisan work of the Energy Committee this morning to advance 22 bills to the full Senate.

We have enough challenges addressing the humanitarian crises both at our borders and around the world. Instead of digging deeper into the mud with personal, vindictive insults –we must demand a higher standard of decorum and decency. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

There is no excuse for the president’s spiteful comments –they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This week I chaired a Senate Energy hearing to examine the increasingly important role of U.S. liquefied natural gas & role in the evolving global markets. When it comes to the production of LNG in the U.S., it has soared to levels many, even a decade ago, never thought possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Recognizing the role that we can play from a geopolitical perspective and strategic perspective is important, and why I announced a new Strategic Energy Initiative, to provide a framework to strengthen our nation’s geopolitical posture. https://t.co/Jhiqg64Rsa — PolitiTweet.org

By removing barriers to life-saving medication-assisted treatments that have been clinically proven to help patients safely reduce or even end their dependence on opioids, we can ensure those struggling w/ substance abuse have access to the treatment they need to fully recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

If enacted, the adjustment to the PILT program would increase the annual program funding for the large counties w/ populations under 5,000, ensuring local govts have funding for services such emergency response & the construction of roads. Good news for a rural state like Alaska. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We discussed legislation to help stop dangerous products from being marketed to children, such as the SAFE Kids Act, a bill I reintroduced to limit companies from creating targeted tobacco products for kids & the Tobacco to 21 Act, which forbids tobacco sales to people under 21. https://t.co/QxBhl5Ew7l — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Both the FDA and CDC estimate that nearly 90% of adult tobacco users started using tobacco products by the time they were 18 years old.
