if we do too much too quickly, we are going to drive people offshore.

we are not going to do this a bunch more times.

To me, that is a good thing. You are doing that, right.

I want to applaud you for beefing up the environmental management budget so that people like South Carolina's Savannah River site, who have done some pretty aggressive things to reduce their waste footprint, will not be left hanging.

the President spoke to the Congress a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned energy independence and climate change as two big issues for the administration, and he gave a list of solutions. He did not mention nuclear power.

the politics around energy are sort of like agriculture politics. They do not break along party lines many times.

It is never going to happen unless it is bipartisan.

I am convinced that of this $838 billion, a lot of it is going to go to things other than creating jobs in the first year or the next 18 months.
