From the transcript

But of all the praise I would give Dan, and I've given him a lot, there's nowhere where he's been more of a leader in the United States Congress, the United States Senate, than on ensuring energy independence and energy dominance, not just for this state, but for the whole country. You have boundless natural resources in the state of Alaska, and for too long politicians told you that you couldn't have an amazing Alaskan environment while also exploring the incredible resources of this state. And Dan knows the exact opposite is true. That if we invest in Alaska's energy dominance, we can have proud Alaskan environment, but also make sure that America stays ahead of the curve when it comes to energy. That's why he has fought tirelessly to open up ANWR and advance drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve.
