I think it is they have done an outstanding job.

I hate for us in Washington, DC, to be mandating everything that has to be done to increase efficiency.

I have the honor and privilege of representing the entire coast of Georgia, over a hundred miles of pristine coastline

We are never going to solve this problem without the buy-in from the private sector.

The annual value of the ecosystem services provided by private forests alone is valued to be over $37 billion.

Timber draws carbon out of the atmosphere. It is very important.

It just amazes me that we in Congress continue to ignore the fact that we need to reclassify marijuana.

I really appreciate your perspective on the lifecycle perspective and your explanation of that and how we should be looking at it throughout the whole process and the lifecycle carbon output.

Let's not sell ourselves short. We've passed some good legislation in this committee that we need to continue to work on.

In fact, we have the unenviable, unenviable position of being the number one State in the Nation in maternal mortality.

We also need to make sure that the regulation of the energy industry doesn't create adverse price spikes.

I think that is very important, because as we go through this process, it is going to be important for the private sector to be involved.

Manufacturing is important obviously in our Nation, and it is also important in the First Congressional District of Georgia that I have the honor and privilege of representing.

We, along with Representative Gonzalez, Peter Welch and Morgan Griffith...expressing our disappointment.

Thank you for bringing this to the committee's attention.

And I just want to thank you for bringing this to the committee's attention.

We got to be smarter than this. You know, whether you think--whatever you think about climate change, we have to be resilient, we have to be smarter.

We need to build it up. We need to be smart about these kind of things.
