On the recordSeptember 14, 2012
I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. We should be spending this time extending the tax credits for wind power. That would save tens of thousands of clean energy jobs. We should be spending this time developing responsible policies to reduce carbon emissions that are contributing to the record droughts, wildfires, storms, and floods that have been linked to climate change. But this bill is just more of the same: more political rhetoric, more bad policy, but no real solutions to the problems we face. We should reject this flawed legislation. I reserve the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The Committee will rise informally. The Speaker pro tempore (Mr. Gardner) assumed the chair. ____________________
