We have been struggling a little bit trying to have our 126 Petition take into account the emissions that are coming from outside of our immediate corridor.

I appreciate the leadership of Senator Cardin on this issue and a whole host of others.

We created a Nutrient Management Commission that required all of the farms that spread nutrients to have a Nutrient Management Plan.

We talk a lot about carbon dioxide emissions and the need to rein in carbon dioxide emissions, and I fully agree with that.

We are trying to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by at least 70 percent between now and 2015.

We must hold ourselves accountable, measure progress and verify the environmental benefits to regain the trust of taxpayers.

As a peninsular State almost entirely surrounded by tidal waters and with the lowest mean elevation of any State, Delaware will likely be more affected by sea level rise than any State in the Nation.

Delaware adopted a nutrient management law. This unique law requires nutrient management plans for the vast majority of farms in Delaware.

I say thank you as a recovering Governor.

I think we would all acknowledge that we need every country, especially the major emitters, to begin reducing their emissions.

The Chinese are actually well ahead of us in terms of energy efficiency for the cars they are putting out on the road.
