Welcome to The Senate Site

Senator, District 26 (Uintah Basin)

The coming together of Utah State University and the Idaho National Laboratory signifies a synergy as we move forward in both conventional oil and gas production and new hybrid energy. It gives the Idaho National Laboratory a local presence to test, research and develop their practices. The press release details what is expected to occur as we bring USTAR, the Uintah Basin and the USU Energy Dynamics Lab together with the Idaho National Laboratory.

It has been exciting for me to work with these people and see the partnership come together with the help of public and private donations as well as the cooperation of all entities. I look forward to this partnership studying and solving many of the energy questions we have today.
