I am concerned about what the methodology was for making the decision to move the mission to Dugway and that insufficient research was done prior to making the decision.

What is the comparison of infrastructure upgrades required at Dugway versus Fort Huachuca to conduct this expanded mission?

What is the difference in cost of conducting the mission from Dugway versus Fort Huachuca?

In terms of what is happening down at Ft. Huachuca, one of the challenges we have is with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the restrictions that they are putting on over-flights.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Bartlett.

By making critical investments in clean energy, especially solar energy, we can take a big step toward putting our nation back on a strong economic footing.

Solar and other renewables provide a means of addressing the economic crisis head on.

With effective national policy, solar can create tens of thousands of jobs across the entire country and spur billions of dollars worth of economic growth and tax revenue.

I believe that this crisis has opened a door of opportunity.

I believe that by making critical investments in clean energy, but particularly solar energy, we can take a big step towards putting our Nation back on a strong economic footing.

Solar power creates jobs for electricians, for construction workers, plumbers, line workers, roofers, engineers, and high-paying manufacturing positions.
