          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. WYDEN (for himself, Ms. Cantwell, Ms. Mikulski, Mr. 
        Cardin, Mr. Dodd, and Mr. Merkley):
  S. 3056. A bill to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to repeal a 
section of that Act relating to exportation and importation of natural 
gas; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, along with Senators Cantwell, Mikulski, 
Cardin, Dodd, and Merkley, I am reintroducing legislation that will 
repeal the authority granted to the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, FERC, in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to site Liquified 
Natural Gas, LNG, terminals. Prior to enactment of these changes,

[[Page S946]]

States, such as Oregon, had authority to site these large energy 
facilities--a right that was preempted by the 2005 act. At the time, 45 
Senators went on record saying that cutting State siting agencies out 
of the LNG siting process was a bad idea.
  As citizens and their public officials in my State and those of my 
colleagues can attest, putting FERC in the driver's seat for LNG siting 
has been a colossal mistake. Rather than address the critical 
environmental and economic questions of whether these large, 
potentially dangerous natural gas storage facilities are even needed or 
whether energy supplies could be provided with less environmental 
impact and risk, FERC has taken the attitude that it's not its job to 
make such decisions. The result is the worst of all possible public 
policy worlds where FERC refuses to address the tough questions and the 
law limits the ability of our States to step where FERC fails.
  Right now, in Oregon, we have three separate LNG projects. Two of 
those have been approved by FERC over the objections of citizens and 
State officials and one is still pending. Together, they would have a 
combined capacity of 3.3 billion cubic feet, BCF, of gas per day. Yet, 
the States of Oregon and Washington, together, only use 1.33 BCF per 
day. Natural gas prices in North America have significantly declined 
and supplies have increased since these projects were proposed. Yet, 
FERC categorically refuses to address the basic question of whether the 
three proposed facilities are even needed to serve our market. FERC 
also refuses to consider whether any of the competing interstate 
pipeline proposals to bring natural gas to Oregon from the Rocky 
Mountains would be a better option. In fact, FERC asserts that it is 
not its job to determine which, if any, of these proposals best serves 
our market.
  While the new chairman of FERC--Jon Wellinghoff--has been willing to 
vote against LNG siting proposals, the truth is that FERC continues to 
plow ahead with siting decisions that make no economic sense and which 
endanger forest lands, farms, vineyards, and residential neighborhoods. 
Given FERC's record, my colleagues and I believe that it is essential 
that Congress restore the local and State role in these critical 
decisions about where, and even whether, LNG facilities and the 
pipelines that connect them are to be built.
  The legislative language is identical to the bill I introduced in the 
last Congress--S. 2822--and which garnered the support of a number of 
my colleagues including then-Senator Barack Obama. That bill was needed 
then, and it is needed now. I am going to be calling on the President 
for his help in fixing this serious mistake.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be 
printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:

                                S. 3056

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. EXPORTATION OR IMPORTATION OF NATURAL GAS.

       (a) In General.--Section 311 of the Energy Policy Act of 
     2005 (Public Law 109-58; 119 Stat. 685) is repealed.
       (b) Application.--The Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 et 
     seq.) shall be applied and administered as if section 311 of 
     the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (and the amendments made by the 
     section) had not been enacted.
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mrs. BOXER:
  S. 3057. A bill to provide to the Secretary of the Interior a 
mechanism to cancel contracts for the sale of materials CA-20139 and 
CA-22901, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and 
Natural Resources.
  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I am pleased to introduce the Soledad 
Canyon High Desert, California Public Lands Conservation and Management 
Act of 2010. This bill would resolve a twenty-year-old mining dispute 
between the City of Santa Clarita and CEMEX USA, and have numerous 
other benefits for communities in Los Angeles and San Bernardino 
Counties, CA.
  In 1990, the Bureau of Land Management awarded CEMEX two 10-year 
consecutive contracts to extract 56 million tons of sand and gravel 
from a site in Soledad Canyon. The City of Santa Clarita strongly 
opposed CEMEX's expansion of mining in this area. After 2 decades of 
conflict and nearly a decade of litigation, the two parties announced a 
truce in early 2007, and started working out an agreement.
  This legislation would implement the terms of that agreement. It 
would require the Secretary of the Interior to cancel CEMEX's mining 
contracts in Soledad Canyon and prohibit future mining at this site. 
The BLM would sell lands near Victorville, CA, that are currently on 
its disposal list, and would use the proceeds to compensate CEMEX for 
the cancellation of its mining contracts. The City of Victorville and 
County of San Bernardino would have the right of first refusal to 
purchase many of these parcels, which would help satisfy their future 
development needs. Some of these funds would also go towards the 
purchase of environmentally-sensitive lands in Southern California.
  My legislation would settle a twenty-year-old dispute to all parties' 
satisfaction, complement future development plans in Southern 
California, help secure important lands for conservation, and do all of 
this without any cost to taxpayers. That is why it has already won the 
support of a diverse group of interests, including the City of Santa 
Clarita, CEMEX, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, and the Sierra 
Club.
  I have worked with Representative Buck McKeon in introducing this 
measure and look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to 
secure its passage.
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mr. BINGAMAN (for himself, Ms. Murkowski, and Mr. Menendez):
  S. 3059. A bill to improve energy efficiency of appliances, lighting, 
and buildings, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and 
Natural Resources.
  Mr. BINGAMAN. Mr. President, I am pleased to join with the Ranking 
Member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Lisa 
Murkowski, in introducing the National Energy Efficiency Enhancement 
Act of 2010. This legislation would implement several agreements that 
have been negotiated between appliance manufacturers and energy 
efficiency advocates to increase national energy efficiency standards 
for a range of commercial products, strengthen our economy, create 
jobs, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
  The major energy consuming products that would have standards 
established or enhanced by this legislation include furnaces, air 
conditioners, street lights, and external power supplies. The bill 
would also modify the Secretary of Energy's authority regarding 
administration of the program. For example, there would be changes to 
the criteria used by the Secretary when determining where to set a 
standard, so as to include consideration of the impact of a proposed 
standard on average energy prices and the impacts of smart grid 
technology. A more detailed description section-by-section summary of 
the bill is included at the end of these remarks.
  Representatives from the energy efficiency community, such as the 
American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, ACEEE, the Alliance 
to Save Energy, and the National Resources Defense Council, along with 
industry representatives from the National Electric Manufacturers 
Association, the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute, 
and the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers and others, have 
done a commendable job in working through very difficult and technical 
issues to develop this remarkable consensus legislation. Their 
successes were set forth in several agreements that have been included 
in this bill. It is a testament to what can be achieved for the nation 
when interests groups work together with a commitment to the common 
good.
  The savings from these new standards, if enacted, are estimated at 
258 trillion Btu in 2020, and 677 trillion Btu in 2030. In addition, 
greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to be reduced by 14.6 million 
metric tons of CO2 in 2020, and 39 million metric tons in 
2030. Other benefits of increased efficiency include consumer savings 
due to lower energy costs and new jobs created by the use of consumer 
savings for other purchases and investments.
  This legislation demonstrates the continuing commitment of the Energy

[[Page S947]]

Committee to build on the bipartisan bill it reported last June--the 
American Clean Energy Leadership Act of 2009, or ACELA. Title II of 
ACELA directs the Energy Department to establish new energy efficiency 
standards for portable lamps and commercial furnaces and would yield 
estimated energy savings in 2030 of 551 trillion Btu, and carbon 
dioxide emission reductions of 31.3 million metric tons. Combined, the 
savings from these two bills would be 1228 trillion Btu and 70 million 
metric tons in 2030. Note: all estimates by the American Council for an 
Energy Efficient Economy.
  The energy efficiency provisions of ACELA when combined with this new 
legislation would substantially enhance one of the most powerful and 
cost-effective tools the Federal Government has to strengthen our 
economic and energy security.
  The appliance standards program has been saving energy and money for 
families, businesses, and government consumers for more than 20 years. 
DOE currently administers standards for 35 products, and the American 
Council for an Energy Efficient Economy estimates cumulative program 
savings of 5.1 Quadrillion Btu through 2010. The ACEEE projects another 
3 Quadrillion Btu of savings from current standards by 2020.
  This program's savings in electricity are the most significant, with 
an estimated reduction of nearly 16 percent in national electricity use 
by 2020 below what would have been used without the program.
  Greater energy efficiency strengthens our economy, enhances our 
security, saves consumers money, creates jobs, and reduces greenhouse 
gas pollution. No single program or policy is going to completely end 
our nation's waste of energy or its carbon emissions, but increased 
energy efficiency through cost-effective energy standards for 
appliances and consumer products remains the single most-powerful tools 
for meeting these goals.
  I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Energy Committee, 
in the Congress, and in the Administration to enact the National Energy 
Efficiency Enhancement Act of 2010. It would be a major enhancement to 
the energy savings anticipated from ACELA--more than doubling the 
savings--and both bills should be a part of any comprehensive national 
energy legislation.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill and 
a bill summary be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
