I think we need to look at both sides of the ledger.

We know that over a 20-year period, methane is very harmful to the environment.

I love that collaborative effort that you have on so many of these.

I love the work that you guys are doing.

I think this is a great panel.

What effect would it have--and a lot of people are talking about some sort of a price on carbon.

I personally have always said that it`s not just physical, it`s the organizational elements that allow us to have a growing economy and hopefully one that`s more equitable.

I recognize how important it is that small businesses be able to address some of the real challenges that we are facing right now.

Well, there`s certainly a level of coolness towards bringing that corporate tax back up.

Thanks so much. I appreciate that, Madam Chair, and thank you for holding such an informative session today.

I think there were definite -- a, there was a positive energy first, and we may not have come together on some of the particulars, but there was I think a general optimism and a belief that we were all there and we all felt that this was…
