The DSCOVR satellite can answer critical questions about global warming, including whether or not it's a fantasy. It has been built and paid for but it's been sitting in a Marlyand warehouse for years. There are no plans to launch it,even though both France and Ukraine have offered to do so for free. NASA won't say why. Can you find out?

Yeah, the Deep Space Climate Observatory is a NASA satellite that was originally proposed by then Vice President Al Gore. One of the purposes was to provide a continuous picture of the earth from 1.5 km away in space. Critics have argued that the satellite would beam, essentially, an overpriced screen saver of earth that was not the best use of NASA dollars that could be spent on perhaps more pressing matters like monitoring the climate and life sciences etc.

Scientists tell us that we need to reduce our carbon output 80% by 2050 to mitigate the effects of climate change. What is your plan to meet that goal?

We need to provide from the energy point with energy self-sufficiency. Wyoming is the No.1 coal producer in the United States. Number one in uranium. Number two for natural gas, so we've done a considerable amount for the energy need of the nation. I'm going to continue to work to make sure Wyoming is part of that picture. Also we have incredible renewable sources, like the wind. I'm working for renewables as well.

It’s important that we once again restore America’s ability to build nuclear power plants. We’ve lost that now. We have stopped the production of these plants, so to speak, for almost two decades. So it’s time to recognize that it’s a safe form of energy. It produces nearly zero CO2 compared to a coal-fired plant. Zero. Right now, we rely on nuclear power for about 20 percent of our energy. I’d like to see in the next decade or 15 years, perhaps that 20 percent can go as high as 30 or 35 percent.

So the point is to make coal to liquid clean and sequestration complete. It's going to take billions and billions of dollars and it has to be done by the federal government. It has to be a Manhattan project, but it's much more important.

It all comes from Hollywood, from the far left, and the ones who are the same as the extremist animal right activists and people who bomb construction sites, but it's a very well funded extreme group. That's why the politicians are inclined to act like they are supporting it.

Since it is proven that Earth goes through periods of global warming and then immediatley followed by ice ages; is it possible that the "global warming" that we claim to be experiencing is perfectly natural?

One of the things that’s been interesting being a member of the Select Committee on Energy, Environment and Global Warming has been the conversation has really changed a lot. You don’t hear much talk of global warming per se. So many of the scientists are talking in terms of climate change. And there are more scientists who are moving to say, well it probably was cyclical, and when you go back and look at El Nino, it was something that we are beginning to move to a cooling era.

In view of the concern about global warming, and in view of the problem of airplanes contributing to it, why is the United States dead last among developed nations in promoting affordable passenger train travel? I would travel by train in preference to flying or driving for most of my travel.

Oh absolutely, I think that in the future there will be more and more use of rail- not just for personal transportation, but for carrying cargo. You carry cargo five times more efficiently on rail than you do by truck and by the way, you carry it five times more efficiently by water than you do by rail. So trucks should be moving cargo only the last mile. And we really need a national infrastructure system for moving people. The world has now reached its maximum ability to produce oil.
