Thank you. Thanks for all your preparation and being here.

What about the cost to the States? Is--you mentioned Michigan is deploying some of this. Where is the money coming from?

This will be settled somewhere around June 25, there will be a decision up here one morning on the website.

I do not know what kind of feedback you have had so far on this, and this is just one of those rolling--once things get hard, they just continue to get harder for a while.

the best thing that we can do is to be able to get our technology up to speed so that we have fewer instances like this

The very rapid path that you had to take to deal with credit monitoring, to be able to notify and provide credit monitoring for 4 million people at this point, had to come together very quickly.

It is a priority. Let us keep in mind the Constitution is still out there. It states these are the two things we are supposed to be doing here, defending America and roads and bridges.

my top priority this year is to pass a fiscally responsible, long term highway bill.

this type of legislation or rule is regressive.

His carbon regulations for new, modified and reconstructed, and existing power plants are nothing more than high-cost, unprecedented power grabs.

It does not make sense for States to spend limited resources planning out how to comply with a rule that we know will ultimately be stricken down.

As an original cosponsor to the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, I know what good environmental policy looks like.

if you come back from Rio de Janeiro or one of these places with a treaty that either hurts our economy or does not require the same thing from China and other countries, then we would not ratify it.

I thank Senator Capito for drafting S. 1324, the Affordable Reliable Electricity Now Act of 2015 to address these problems.

I remember when we had the first appointed Director of the EPA, Lisa Jackson in the room. It was during the COP in Copenhagen.

When China produces goods, they emit 300 percent more CO2 than we do here.

this is not where the problem is. The problem is in India, China, Mexico and other places.

The Clean Power Plan alone would cost $479 billion, result in double digit electricity price increases in 43 States and reduce grid reliability.
