thank you mr. kelly. what a he's done in my life., have felt at times that i have -- my voice has not been welcomed because of my faith. i have felt at times that i have been pushed out of look a lot like this because and i want to tell people about him if as christians, we're called to care for the orphan and thet scripture urges us not to show favoritism when a poor man comes to our home. so we're given the command to care for the orphan and the widow, and then we're given the instruction to not show favoritism. and it st put them in the same place that we would the rich man and this is what do. if a child ages out without a family to call communities need to step up like mine didtening to this, community-based organizations people of faith if there's aoster care no matter what they've been through, believe in them as a child. fill the roles they're missing out in their my community's not perfect. they didn't fill every aspect that a motherd and could. they will never be able to make up for what i did not child, but they've given m

would you support that idea, mr. administrator, can you work with me and senator kelly? >> we would be happy to provide technical assistance and work with congress on those ideas. >> how about if the epa, categorical exclusion for alaska contaminated lands programs? that comes under nepa review. i can submit that for the record to get more details. >> let us dig into that. i will ask my staff. >> >> i want to be respectful. for the record, what other resources or authorities does the epa need to help clean up these native lands. remember, the native people of alaska got the lands from the federal government of 34 million acres in the biggest land settlement in the history of the world. a lot of it was contaminated. we worked together, the chairman and i, to say a couple years ago, at least they do not apply to the alaskan native groups. you cannot be liable. are there other ways you need help with these native lands that are contaminated? i know that you learned a lot about -- when you were in alaska, appreciate you taking the time to meet with the different native group

kelly armstrong. >> thank you, mr. chair. earlier you and my friend -- we are talking about capturing the methane and you said it is wasteful. nobody wants methane in the air. producers don't want it. i am assuming the d.o.e. has a financial incentive to capture that as well, right? >> meaning we put out grants for those who can capture? >> a lot of that is, backup. do you know what the federal release rate is? the royalty? >> no, i don't. >> it either 3/16 or 16.6. this is one of the arguments that frustrates me. you know what associated gas is, right? it is gas produced with oil and gas. there are only two ways to capture the methane. either shut down oil production to get 100% capture, or replace the infrastructure with infrastructure pipeline, all of those things. it captures 100% of all of them. and so if we have an incentive and everybody said it is wasteful to do it, today wti is trading at 79 .99 a barrel, which is amazing. russia has invaded ukraine, we have a hot war in the middle east and at any other time in histo
