Thomas R. Carper: “I hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes.”

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
