WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement after meeting with the president's nominee for Secretary of Energy, Dan Brouillette:
"I was glad to meet with Deputy Secretary Brouillette to discuss his nomination to lead the Department of Energy, the administration's ongoing efforts to secure American energy dominance, and the work of Kentuckians to produce affordable domestic energy.
"In particular, we discussed future funding and support for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion plant and Kentucky's important role in cutting-edge clean coal and carbon sequestration research.
