Moving to 100 percent renewables, I think we need to look at this in the context of national security.

Does it make sense to continue to deprive people of energy justice, if you want to use the word 'justice,' in pursuit of renewables?

If you are concerned about inflation, then you also have to be concerned about this administration's energy policy.

Well, that is very disturbing to me.

If the--is it possible that the permit holder could be a private company?

As I point out to people, businesses don't pay regulatory costs. They don't pay taxes. Consumers do.

These transmission lines and renewable would be competitive, that cost would come down, that--Mr. Clark, that would only be--that statement can only be made in the context of the massive amount of Federal subsidies that go to solar and…

The only way that the Federal Government, the Biden administration and my Democrat colleagues will be able to achieve this dream of a Green New Deal is to be very aggressive in the use of eminent domain that will deny the States the right…

We are going to need to expedite permitting. We are going to have to evaluate some of the regulatory impediments to getting this done.

The national renewable energy laboratory estimated that if the U.S. were to attempt to derive 90 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, it would have to roughly double its high-voltage transmission capacity.

The Biden administration basically said, 'The border is open, send everybody,' and they came, as you would expect them to.

This is a humanitarian tragedy that the Biden administration has inflicted on these children.

I think that there is a role for faith-based organizations in increasing the confidence in the vaccines and maybe even serving as a familiar distribution site.

I think you need to keep the cost-benefit analysis provision in the legislation.

Do you understand that there's tradeoffs here? The cost of compliance with that standard on Aquazine would have been enough to hire 2,300 teachers.

I think when we take that into account, the cost, and there are other EPA regulations imposed on local communities that they admitted the technology didn't exist to achieve those standards.

Well, you should go back and look at what the Trump administration was doing on it. The Obama administration was engaged in it.

It will drive jobs, especially manufacturing jobs, overseas.

That would add another--at least another 50 cents per gallon.

If we were to implement these policies, it will be a massive increase in the cost of energy.

I just think that we are, once again, going down the wrong track with this.

Would you agree that the Reverend Jackson is doing the right thing to try to address energy injustice and economic injustice by getting a natural gas pipeline into that community?

There is also a problem with energy poverty, energy justice, economic justice.

It is ridiculous that we continue to have these virtual hearings when most of us, if not all of us, have been vaccinated.

I think it is time that people begin to speak up for energy and economic justice for all people, all low-income people, in particular.
