Both of those, ok.
I just want to thank you and Senator Murkowski for holding this important hearing.
It's more of a carrot-and-stick approach.
I can say confidently that the Bingaman/Murkowski/Udall legislation represents a strong foundational effort to augment the Federal Governmen...
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, let me acknowledge the hard work of you and Senator Murkowski.
Would others care to comment?
I believe there have been conversations in the IAEA community about overseeing this entire fuel cycle in the future.
I wanted to pursue this line of questioning. As I understand, interruptions to our power systems cost us about $80 billion annually.
this could very well be a game-changer.
I would urge you to do so.
So, at this point, you are exploring both the idea of a centralized storage approach and a decentralized storage approach.
I think we can move forward in the storage area in a bipartisan way.
It holds the promise of dramatically increasing capacity utilizations of the generation, transmission, and distribution system.
Power interruptions cost the United States economy roughly $80 billion per year.
That is astounding to me, and this seems to be a real opportunity for storage because storage can help reduce those outages.
But again, those are going to be primarily within the purview of State commissions to work with State utilities at the distribution level.
If we find a way to store the power generated from the sun and the wind, really all energy resources, then we can transform the energy indus...
Senator Udall has urged that we have this hearing.
