“But I suggest that she and other Senators, instead of reading what the newspapers have to say, read what their constituents have to say. I want to cite some constituents of hers and of everyone else in the Senate and what they have had to say. The Solar Industry of America applauds this. They are the largest group of American businessmen involved in development of solar energy. They sent a letter in full support, along with the National Hydropower, American Coalition for Ethanol, Renewable Fuels, National Biodiesel Board, American Soybean Board, North American Electric Reliability Council. Most interestingly, the biggest thing they found that caused that blackout was the violation of reliability standards. Those standards are in this legislation. That will not happen again. The study group says we have taken care of them in this legislation. Do not forget, if we do not pass this, they are out the window.”
