utah is a natural resource state. this includes mining and agriculture as critical natural resources. but it really also includes our national and state parks as well. so we truly believe in balancing both use and conservation. we think that this is the best approach to leveraging all of our resources to generate revenues and create jobs. so focusing on energy in particular, though, this is an important aspect of our economy. it contributes 9% to our gross state product. it's 2.2% of the state wages, although it's only 1.1% of our employment numbers. so it indicates that these are very high paying jobs, as has already been discussed. it contributes $673 million in revenues, most recently in 2015. these revenues are really important to utah. they help to provide education to our students and they also provide many other critical community services, which have also already been mentioned. utah, like i think much of the country that is dependent on natural resource development, experiences booms and bust in the natural r

these revenues are important to utah. they provide education to our students and also provide many other critical services that have already been mentioned. much of the country, utah is dependent on natural resource development, experiences booms and busts in the natural resource development and since 2014 utah has been experiencing a decline in production activity related to oil and gas. this is in large part driven by lower commodity prices which are a function of market conditions. just to give you an example of the impact oil production in 2015 was around 41 million barrels a year in utah. in 2016 it was 31 million barrels. matching our 2012 levels. natural gas production has been on the decline since 2012. we believe nonetheless that if we access our resources we can create new opportunities for development of these commodities. as commodity prices rationalize this is going to be critical. what we need to do is create a regulatory path that allows sustained growth in jobs especially in those communities that have bee

when you go home to utah, what do you say?to repeal obamacare, it's will have been saying for seven years. it's what the market people demand. in many cases, people have health insurance that they are no longer able to use, they can afford to use it because of the high deductibles. this is an urgent problem and it demands urgent action. that urgent action necessarily involves full repeal. >> jon: the votes don't appear to be there for a full repeal. it leaves the existing system in place, so what is that doing anybody good? >> i refuse to accept the suggestion that the votes wouldn't be there. we wouldn't have a 52 seat majority in the senate, we wouldn't have the authority in a house, we would have a republican in the white house right now. but for campaign promises made over and over again essentially by every republican saying they would repeal it. it's time for us to do that. >> jon: does the president need to get more involved? >> i would always welcome the president's involvement. it's always helpful. if he wants to cont

the senator from utah, the senator from oregon. they have worked well together in the past. and they can work well together in the future. there are suggestions that we are interested in, that come from members on the other side of the aisle -- the senator from maine, the senator from louisiana. so let's turn the page and work together to improve our health care system, and let's turn the page in another way. all of us were so inspired by the speech and the life of the senator from arizona, and he asked us to go back to regular order, to bring back the senate that some of us who have been here a while remember. maybe this can be a moment where we start doing that. both sides will have to give. the blame hardly falls on one side or the other. but if we can take this moment, a solemn moment, and start working this body the way it had always worked until the last decade or so, with both sides to blame for the deterioration, we will do a better job for our country, a better job for this body, a better job for ourselves. and finally, i'm glad that the leader asked us to move to n
