Barbara Boxer

The Kerry-Boxer bill includes many key cost containment features, such as a broad, inclusive cap, banking and borrowing provisions.

I would hope that we would step back from a little bit of the fear mongering that is going on and try to be deliberative.

We are definitely headed in the direction of dependence on foreign oil and greater dependence.

I am a little bit dismayed with the fear mongering we hear from the other side, talk about blackouts and those kinds of things.

There is just fear mongering going on, and the fact is we are going to look at a bright new future if we move forward.

All of the charges I hear from the other side just don't hold up in the light of day.

I hope we don't see a boycott of the markup of a landmark bill. That would be tragic, in my mind.

To say that we haven't reached out is ridiculous.

I think the speech you just made is flat wrong, and I want to explain why.

I will also put in the record, at the same time, the recent studies that have just come out by U.C. Berkeley and University of Illinois.

I appreciate that very much.

I appreciate this panel. Terrific, all of you, just terrific.

I think what we should do... is to make a list of all the Government subsidies that the nuclear industries get.

Let us talk about the loan guarantees. You want to talk about that for nuclear?

If we do not have to, why do we not repeal?

Taxpayers picked up the bill for the Price-Anderson Act.

Now, my colleague calls it a tax. It is not a tax because if you clean up your act, and you figure out how to get the carbon out of the air, you do not have to do anything.

Today, we urge congressional leadership to move forward with legislation to help the United States prepare and adapt for the challenges of climate change and to attain the goals of energy independence and security.

We had 11,000 on another with Ted Roosevelt.

Thirteen thousand people on one phone call with Senator Warner.

The choice is ours. The time is now.

I am very proud to have that support, and I will let Senator Kerry know about your comments.

Our consumers are so driven with the notion that they can be part of the solution.

If the American people do not support us, it is not going to work.

We want to work with you. We want to keep working to make this a better product.
