So my hope is that we find ways to use less energy, and that we will find a way to put a price on carbon.

we are excited about the prospect of the clean energy that it will create.

We want to get through this current wave and complete our reviews.

As our Nation's energy demands grow, we are going to need more nuclear power to meet our clean air and climate goals.

If we are serious about clean energy, we shouldn't put our nuclear power plants in mothballs, either.

I think consistent with the principles of good regulation, the agency is moving forward to look at lessons learned.

That just isn't right.

As Commissioners, you lead the agency in charge of nuclear safety that is most admired throughout the world.

I would think one of our major responsibilities would be oversight of nuclear power.

I think the biggest enhancement that we will have after this first wave is completed is that we expect that some of these designs will be approved.

If we let that happen, shame on us.

Every day, more Americans are recognizing that nuclear energy provides clean, reliable power and provides good paying American jobs.

I would argue, and I think we have charts here to show this, that if you want new energy creation in the United States, you know what? Nuclear is the most expensive way to go, the most expensive way to go.

our priority for this year has been really three-fold. The first most important priority has been jobs. The second has been jobs. And the third has been jobs.

We hope that is true.

Public confidence in nuclear has risen because Americans have seen real, clean air benefits from nuclear power.

It is great to have him back. He has been back for a couple of weeks, but he had some pretty serious health challenges and it is good to see him back on his feet and in full voice. He mentioned in his remarks for the first time about 3…

I want to take a minute or two to have us step back and think about how we got into this mess with the housing bubble and all that literally led us almost to the brink of disaster in this country. Part of what happened is market forces…

They were under a lot of pressures in order to keep market share and in order to keep their business alive, so, therefore, they had to rate competitively against the other rating agencies.

I think the rating agencies worked very hard and were under a lot of pressure to analyze the pools that they were rating.

I rise today to introduce two pieces of legislation that I believe will help the Federal Government cut its energy bill, save taxpayers' money and benefit the environment. Today is Earth Day, when people are thinking about how they can…

I have been a strong champion here in the Senate of the Department of Justice efforts to root out the fraud that contributed to our financial crisis and bring those responsible to justice.

The financial health of the Post Office has to be a consideration as you move forward.

I just want to say how pleased and really honored I was to present to the President the names of three superbly qualified Delawareans for him to consider for this judicial appointment.

The President has made I think a very wise choice in nominating our U.S. Magistrate, Leonard P. Stark, for a seat, bar seat on the U.S. District Court in Delaware.
