It would always have to pencil out. It would always have to make sense financially.

I want to thank Chairman Lummis for holding this hearing.

I was interested by the President's challenge last night when he referred to how we can cut in half our energy consumption in our homes and our businesses.

I know that many commercial buildings--that the business owners did want to take measures to make their buildings more energy efficient so they could reduce their own costs and also help make the earth more healthy and our country less…

I think there are tremendous opportunities.

these jobs can't be outsourced.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate you holding this hearing today and I look forward to working with you on energy issues on this Subcommittee.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and I look forward to working with you in this Committee.

If the United States is to be the world leader in all aspects of energy, we must be willing to work together, compromise, and embrace innovation.

The big energy challenges we face require big lead times to solve.
