U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement responding to the President's climate speech today:
"At a time when U.S. carbon emissions are down, the President's insistence on pushing through more regulations and higher energy costs by executive order is especially puzzling.
"Rather than engage in a permanent war on America's energy producers, the President should look for bipartisan, commonsense solutions that will harness the power of our myriad resources right here at home."
