Well, let's fix that. Why don't we fix that?

If I could interrupt, that is an excellent point.

I want to emphasize something that Congressman Frelinghuysen said.

We cannot let something happen here.

The important policy point is this: The energy entrepreneurs who are out there who are working on distributed systems of energy generation and renewables are, I think, on the cusp of a lot of new innovative approaches here.

Perhaps one of the most important things that you and I can do in our time of public service is to ensure that we decrease the probability of the use of a nuclear device to as close to zero as possible.

In terms of, again, prioritization--and we all have to make hard choices--we cannot react to a nuclear incident.

It seems to me, by our proposed reductions in terms of our contribution, it is an admission that the chaotic management of that international effort is a very significant problem.

Is there a right to nuclear power?

What I don't want to see is us 2, 3 years from now having spent even more money on this saying that it is going to go into cold storage.

One idea that I thought of after your testimony last week: Instead of having some sort of annual review, what if we broke that up into even more micro tranches and looked at it quarterly...

if we are looking at the creation of a star and we are not exactly sure whether or not we can do that and we are pouring lots and lots of money into it versus trying to prevent the explosion of a nuclear weapon in an American city, there…

We have the world on the verge of nuclear weapons proliferation. That is the reality.

I think that is another platform that is very important, and it is achievable.

Malaysia's defense chief arriving in Hawaii were able to meet U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and possibly ask for more U.S. military assets designed for deep water search and recovery.

Do you think maybe this committee and this Senate needs to look at how we address the categorical exclusions on projects?

The overwhelming message that I have heard from these important stakeholders is that the Federal process required for building roads is overly burdensome, and it needs to be more flexible.

I have some concerns maybe that we are seeing our coal-fired electric plants in Nebraska.
