Republican members of the Kansas congressional delegation at the KIOGA gathering -- including Reps. Jerry Moran, Todd Tiahrt and Lynn Jenkins -- expressed opposition to the president's environmental agenda on pollution control.

Tiahrt said a big policy shift on CO2 would weaken U.S. production capacity and make the country more reliant on imported oil. Advocates of cap-and-trade legislation haven't provided sufficient evidence carbon dioxide contributes to climate change, he said.

"I don't know where they get it," Tiahrt said.
