So you've got a mandatory audit on all private buildings over a certain size?

We're not here for TV.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

In Alaska that mountain is referred to as something else. We don't refer to it as Mount McKinley. We just call it Denali.

As we discussed at the hearing, the National Park Service's official position on S. 2273 is one of 'no objection.'

I appreciate that it is absolutely a balancing that goes on. But I'm concerned that we may actually be putting some maintenance projects on hold as we bring in new units as we see an expansion.

I certainly hope that the difference is not that in order to have the support from the Park Service you actually have had to have been a legislator, who affected that change.

I rise today to introduce legislation that would potentially help in solving a significant unemployment problem in my home state of Alaska. Today, joined by my colleague, Senator Mark Begich, I introduce the Niblack Mining Area Road…

I think most Americans would agree it is important that we strike a proper balance between abundant and affordable energy and responsible standards of environmental performance. But too often in recent years, the energy-environmental…

It sounds like so much of this is, is we are learning. That's an important piece to recognize in all of this as well.

We were in West Virginia this weekend looking at--we were at the Marcellus. They were speaking exactly to that process of the recycling and how that all plays into it.

Federal Research concludes quake risk from drilling low, avoidable.

I am a huge advocate of geothermal power and the resource itself.

Thank you all. I appreciate your testimony this morning.

We've got new EPA rules that essentially ban construction of new coal fired power plants unless CCS is out there.

You made a statement that, let's see, no geologic review before injection.

In terms of scale do we need to double the monitoring that we're doing?

Is it--it's not fair to describe that the risk or the consequences between waste water injection and CCS are comparable.

I think that the focus here on CCS and waste water injection is an interesting one.

I believe the U.S. should continue to rigorously enforce its trade laws to level the playing field when there are unfair disparities.

Grid parity, being able to deploy clean energy at a cost-effective, sort of cost-effective way that is competitive with fossil fuels and other forms of energy.

I was very pleased that Presidents Obama and Hu agreed on a clean energy package that included several measures to advance our relationship with China.

Finally, the U.S. and China have common interests in deploying clean energy.

Lowering the cost of clean energy, such as solar, is exactly what we need to be doing.

I fully agree that it should be in both countries' interests for China to remove its trade barriers.
