"Do you think we ought to develop a policy that looks at the environmental consequences of where we are going in energy development?"

"We have a rapidly diminishing window to act to reduce our carbon pollution before the catastrophic impacts of climate change are irreversible."

"We made a mistake not diversifying our energy sources at that time."

"I look forward to this hearing and future hearings on this subject and to our cooperation to deal with these problems in a bipartisan and a balanced way."
