On the recordNovember 19, 2003
It is almost incredible--we should show the American people this diagram for them to see what has been happening to their country--the red or pink is the annual use of natural gas in our generating capacity for electricity. If we look back to 1990, the pink is hardly a little sliver, and go out to 2003 and we see that almost the entire generating capacity of the country is natural gas. As the Senator from North Dakota has so eloquently stated this afternoon, it is clear we can't continue down that path. We have to do something about it.
