It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, that these witnesses are fine. But I appreciated your statement that you'd like to question the insurance companies about the rising costs.

I hope we will proceed it with some tough subpoenas to get some hard facts.

In my State that may pit natural gas versus coal.

It would be my hope that our committee would hold its fire until we have heard all of the witnesses and examined the key issues as to how we deal with global warming, climate change; how we protect the jobs that are at stake; how we deal…

Thank you, Madam Chair.

I want to know what the cost is going to be on the electricity.

I need 6 more.

I think for conventional pollutants, there are regulatory structures that will continue to be important to protecting.

I think this bill gives the lifeline to coal to become an energy source in the future.

This is an economic development engine, and it goes beyond the Appalachia region.

I think it is important that the final bill will include a provision for mandatory jail sentences.

The important factor, Mayor Nutter, is that the jobs you are giving them will have application in the private sector as well.

I was particularly interested in the part of your testimony where you specified that the studies which you have conducted on renewable electricity standards show that there is the potential for creating some 850,000 manufacturing jobs.

I have introduced in the last two Congresses legislation, now in Senate Bill 32, which calls for hearings by FERC.

My constituents and I very much appreciate that assurance.
