I am really excited by the prospect.

It is encouraging to see bipartisan cooperation to promote the types of hydropower that are environmentally responsible.

I think we can do better than this legislation.

If this legislation passes, its liability shield will halt those lawsuits, and leave these communities... with MTBE-contaminated water supply stranded with billions of dollars in cleanup costs.

It is very expensive to clean up. According to drinking water utilities, the total cost to clean up MTBE contamination of public water systems in this country could be as high at $85 billion.

In my congressional district and across the country, the effects of MTBE contamination have been significant.

Clean energy solutions make our military more effective. They save war fighter lives, and the DoD procurement drives the American clean energy economy.

I appreciate the work that has been done to reach the MDUFA deal, and I think this is a very important moment to balance the needs of the companies for increased predictability at the agency but also to increase patient safety.

These economic concerns are the threat to public health we should be discussing, not whether or not your boss' conscience is more important than your own.

I also understand that this coverage requirement has been reviewed by the California Supreme Court and found not to be religious discrimination.

My constituents tell me that we should be spending our time here considering jobs and the economy, not blocking women's access to contraceptive services.
