Mark Udall actually said...

"I think that the votes are present in the Senate to pass a renewable electricity standard."

"The best way to decrease our vulnerability and dependence on foreign energy sources is to diversify our energy portfolio."

"Establishing a national Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) is something that I've been working on my entire career in public service."

"An RES is important for so many reasons. As demand for energy continues to grow in this country, we need to make sure that we continue to have affordable and reliable supplies."
