I think you’ve called it racist bill. Am I right?

What we face is unprecedented and should be addressed aggressively and in a bipartisan manner.

I believe that Washington has one of the lowest rates in the Nation, in regard to water rates.

I think we need to be very thoughtful as we move forward in losing this alignment between ratepayers and infrastructure.

We have got to make sure that we are pursuing this in a way that is going to result in jobs not just being created, but being retained here in the United States.

But if everything you are doing is more than being offset by what is happening from China and India and other countries, and you are spending $5 billion and not improving things, how do we fix this?

We are not going to be able to give the United States a secure energy future with renewables.

We have got to develop the innovative energy technologies.

Let's ensure that that demand is met by U.S. resources.

We should not be celebrating global accords that result in the emissions actually going in the wrong direction.

So, effectively, the strategy that you are talking about, though, effectively, it is taxing Americans, including the $4.6 billion that you referenced, to mitigate for what is happening in China and other countries.

Even if we went 100 percent renewable, reputable scientists will admit, if the United States went to absolute zero-carbon emissions it would not stop climate change.

Twenty percent of the population is dyslexic, and if you are dyslexic, you are dyslexic for life.

If dyslexia is the No. 1 reason for poor reading, or even illiteracy... I feel like we have program failure.

A recent analysis by the National Association of Manufacturers has indicated that is actually going to result in a million job losses in just the first 2 years.

The last thing we need to have the Federal Government doing is picking technological winners and losers.

We have got to ensure that the technologies are cost competitive, that they are exportable, because only then will we actually see this global reduction.

Job creation, creating jobs here in America, reducing emissions, charting a path of an America-based resource, clean energy future is something that we should all agree upon.
