It is deja vu all over again, repeat of the problem we have seen year after year after year.

Absolutely. That is what I said to the four commissioners. They have to go back and read why we set them up, the NRC.

I want safe plants. I want plants that respond to new information such as deep earthquakes.

There is like, oh, at least 14 environmental riders that are being attempted to go on there.

I am asking you, particularly on this series of 12 recommendations which could mean life and death, that is not hyperbole, to my people and to people all over the country.

This is going to be a big problem because we asked for documents, not a meeting privately or secretly.

I live in the real world where I go out to these places and look in the eyes of the people, some of whom will be here this afternoon.

It is not in dispute that PG&E is out of compliance with its license.

I just think this point is unbelievable, that we cannot get a simple yes or no to a request for documents.

Climate change is a clear and present danger for the American public and the world.

We have to protect our children from bronchitis and asthma.
