We say yes to a greater access to all sources of clean and reliable energy we have right here at home.

If what we are really interested in is reducing carbon, which is the principle greenhouse gas, we could focus first on smokestacks and say, let us start building 100 new nuclear power plants.

But for the next 20 years, if we really want to deal with global warming, we really only have one option. And that is to double the number of nuclear power plants we have.

Somebody is going to pay that. That works out to be about $900 per family the way my math figures it.

So, my question to the committee, and it will be throughout all of this, is why are we ignoring the cheap energy solution to global warming, which is nuclear power?

If the President would give the same kind of aggressive interest to building 100 new nuclear power plants that he does to building windmills, we could solve global warming in a generation.

The public perception has totally changed.

To have more nuclear and get ourselves off foreign oil and gas ought to be a big goal of what we are doing.

We need to try to do it in a way that does not have huge costs for families, and does not do grave damage to our economy.

The science is mixed. And the louder they say the science is settled, the greater, to me, it seems that they have nothing else to say.

We need to wean ourselves off of foreign oil, at least the excessive reliance we have, and this will not do it.

I do not think this bill is going to pass. It will pass out of this committee... But on the floor it will not.

the American people did wake up. And I am confident they will do that again.

Eighty-one billion dollars, that would just be the death knoll of some of our oil and gas producers.

I honestly do not believe that process debates like this are serving the American people.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Robert Mueller said there is the very real possibility that the Guantanamo detainees will recruit more terrorists from among the Federal inmate population and continue al Qaeda operations from the…

today the Guantanamo detainees are held under well-established laws of war permitting belligerents to confine captured enemies until hostilities are over.

when does the administration plan to ask permission from Congress to authorize long-term detention of detainees?
