"Hydropower is the Nation's number one renewable, producing electricity with negligible emissions."

"Updating and modernizing hydropower infrastructure will incentivize economic development, create jobs, and strengthen our energy security."

"So you have given us some important testimony, all of you, with respect to the obstacles to developing new hydro, and those of us who would like to see more clean power should take this as a challenge..."

"This is an impediment to getting good conservation on the ground for people that are just seeking to do the right thing."
