Whatever this bill comes out, I hope there are some ways to get down to the grassroots level how we can deal with this.

the U.S. Senate did not consent to a goal of disarmament.

the administration may be on the verge of abandoning that approach, opting instead for a nuclear weapons policy focused on unilateral reductions.

the U.S. Senate has also not agreed to or been consulted on unilateral nuclear reductions.

the United States must have a strong deterrence that is effective in meeting its security needs and those of its allies.

It seems one size fits all and when prices are $100 a barrel or $75 a ton of coal or $14 an mcf, the credits just keep marching right on.

It just seems to me that, with the dependency that we have on fossil--in West Virginia we do a little bit of everything.

So we've got to continue to give it tax-supported money to make them viable?

In a time when we're looking to be more--less dependent on foreign oil, it seems like that was an unwise move.

I can tell you that credits on thin seam coal or the credits on tight sands for drilling basically when it goes to $12 and $14 an mcf might not still be needed.

Thank you all. I thank all 4 of you for your presentations.

I can't again overemphasize the sense of urgency I feel and my commitment to doing everything possible to change what's in effect is an internal intra-government set of regulations that hamstrings us from all of the potential advances in…

I think we're talking about putting fairness to the system, as it needed it, at certain prices.

If the U.S. fails to enact CEDA and regain the lead in clean energy technology deployment, we will likely see U.S. innovators take their promising technologies abroad.

It's not going to go because of the return on investment. Basically, if the market's not there and the price is so high, we're going to keep plowing money in for something that's never going to be competitive.

I supported this idea, as I feel it is the kind of long-term, sustained effort which could create new collaborative research projects and lead to significant and far-reaching breakthroughs.

We are here today to examine our Nation's ability to prepare and respond to natural disasters.

The weather-provoked tragedies and terrible loss of life just days ago make it clear that this hearing could not come at a more important time.
