Marlow Cook is certainly one of the most farsighted and effective members of the United States Senate, and he is no newcomer to the energy community. He has long associated himself with all facets of energy production and consumption... Whenever energy legislation is being considered on Capitol Hill, Marlow Cook will be on hand and will make a contribution.
