u.s. department of energy recently announced that we currently have the highest gas prices in this country that we've ever had during the month of february and it makes no sense for the department of energy -- excuse me, the department of the interior to continue to resist access to our own sources of american energy. this is critical. because our country's economic health is tied to having a robust energy sector. obama administration officials estimated it would cost roughly 23,000 jobs if they enacted the deep water drilling moratorium but it went ahead anyway. and to add further insult to americans, it also included a shallow water regulatory permit slowdown. and recently a judge held the department in contempt for the administration's drilling moratorium. congress and this administration can and should encourage private sector job growth. not hinder it with unreasonable regulations. we risk losing more scarce jobs and more investment capital every single day to the ever-increasing weight of our federal bureaucracy. many of these regulations place significant burdens on manufacturers an

energy devices with agencies that do not use ced's, reviewing thousands of incidents. the study was supported by the national institute of justice research arm of the u.s. department of justice. the study showed that use of ced's is associated with a 70% reduction in the chances of an officer being injured, compared to agencies that do not use them. the odds of a suspect being injured are reduced by more than 40%. all in all, we found considerably strong effects in increasing the safety of officers and suspect's. not only are they associated with greater safety, but also within agencies, and in some cases the actual use by an officer is associated with a higher level of safety compared to incidents in which offers a ruse used other kinds of less lethal weapons, such as batons. because the can be fired from a distance, allowing police officers to keep their distance from resisting suspects minimize the struggles that can cause injuries. while no device is foolproof, we find that when used properly the concern is a useful addition to the use of force and police departments. the can help officers make arrests with less risk of injury to of those arrested and to the o

in fact, the department of energy has found that continued investment in the u.s. clean energy sector could create more than 750,000 jobs over the next decade. however, it is one area where the u.s. is unfortunately falling behind many of its competitors, including china and germany. mr. speaker, we must change that. america has a historic opportunity to become a lead for the clean technology manufacturing and creating new, good-paying jobs in this country. that is why i, along with congressman john dingell, recently introduced legislation to bolster the u.s. manufacturing industry with a goal of creating jobs an advancing our nation's standing in the ever-growing clean energy economy. as part of the make it in america agenda, this legislation, h.r. 502, the clean energy technology manufacturing an export assistance act of 2011 would help boost innovation and competitiveness by promoting the manufacturing of clean energy technology at home and supporting its export abroad. the bill helps strengthen america's domestic clean tech manufacturing industry by directing th

of the committee i appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today. the energy information administration of the statistical analytical agency within the u.s. department of agency doesn't promote or take positions on policy issues and we of independence with respect to the information and analysis we provide. therefore we our views shouldn't be construed of those representing that part of the energy or other federal agencies to be focusing first on the short-term outlook for oil. the eia expects a continued tightening of the oil markets over the next two years. world oil consumption grows by an average of 1.5 million barrels per day in 2011 and in 2012 and our outlook, while supply growth from the non-opec countries averages less than .1 million barrels per day. consequently, we expect the market to rely on increased member production of crude oil and other liquids and a drawdown in the inventory to meet the world oil demand growth. with the tight world markets the eia expects the price of west texas intermediate crude oil the key u.s. benchmark to average about $93 per barrel in 2011 this year, $14 per barrel higher than last year's average. and we e

u.s. foreign-policy in the middle east and north africa. the state department is forced into a reactive role because of the increasingly hostile stance that the interior and epa and taken to domestic energyloration and production. these are agencies that can lock down domestic oil with no responsibility for consequences. they can force america to depend more heavily on foreign oil at the cost of lives, tax dollars, and economic opportunity. they do this by delaying leasing, permitting, and attending sweeping lockups of land without congressional approval or authority. the department of interior has aholic with ashopping holida stolen credit card. they evaluated millions of acres of alaska and elsewhere as potential wild lands. that designation if implemented would lock up alaskan oil without congress having any input at all. putting such a sweeping initiative in motion overnight without congressional direction and without consulting the affected states or public is unfathomable bowl. large areas of alaska are already off-limits to resource development. in 1980, congress passed the alaska national interest conservation act. it set aside 57 million acres as wilderness. the interior is now
