On the recordSeptember 14, 2012
I would say to the dean of the House of Representatives, I appreciate sincerely his compliments and his kind words about me. The words he used by calling us Luddites, of course, refers to the 19th century textile workers who objected to the machinery being used. I would really say to Mr. Dingell that he is Luddite because you folks are objecting to letting the free market work. Just because other countries subsidize their energy sector to diversify their portfolios doesn't mean that we should, too. In fact, you saw the editorial recently in The Wall Street Journal how the Chinese subsidize, and now all their solar panel companies are going bankrupt, too.
