I think about 3 percent of the shoreline, if we were to utilize that for wind, could power almost the entire State.

Of course, we would have to talk about how to get that energy into the grid, but beyond that, I think a lot of lobstermen and also machinists in Maine are rightfully concerned about how that offshore wind could impact their fisheries.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Wind energy potential in Maine--I think a lot of you know this too--is huge.

I think a lot of you know this too--is huge. In fact, the Gulf of Maine is, I think, unique in its ability to produce wind power offshore.

It is an issue that Congressman Stauber and I think is critically important, and I know you do as well.

I feel lucky and blessed to have someone on the other side of the aisle sitting next to me in the committee room who is serious about serving his community and serious about working together to find solutions.

He is just a great guy and a real pleasure to work with.

I think it is even worse than what you are describing, because in some ways it might have been meant to make it so that you didn't have anywhere to go but them, and they weren't really interested in offering the service to you in the first…

I introduced the FLAT Prices Act with this data--and these real-world impacts--in mind.

I am here to testify about the FLAT Prices Act, H.R. 1188. It's a bill that I am proud to lead to address the issue of rapid increases in prescription drug prices.

These price increases have forced some families to make the excruciating decision between buying life saving medications and putting food on the table, or paying rent.

For too long, big pharma has spiked prices to make a quick buck on the backs of those who cannot survive without these treatments.
