John Shimkus said "Reclaiming my time, you all want to do no exploration, no gas, no coal, no nuclear, which brings costs up. We're saying let's bring on more supply. Let's mitigate the cost. Let's plan for the future. We are talking about now. We are not talking about 30, 40 years from now. We need to talk about that debate. Your committee is a great committee to talk about the future, but we have got $123 a barrel of crude oil today. No nanotechnology, no recognizing science and education is going to bring that cost down." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
