The lowest-cost energy system is also the cleanest energy system, but there are these massive institutional barriers.

Well, I am delighted to hear about the collateralization.

If I could--and I am sorry for being quick, but I know we are tight on time.

Rushing a vaccine to market too early is massively dangerous to public health.

If it is not tested on populations who are healthy prior to taking the vaccine, it not only risks our health from the vaccine but risks future certainty about the trustworthiness of all vaccines.

Thank you, Chairwoman Fletcher, and thanks to our panel. This is going to surprise all of my colleagues, but my questions are about climate change, not COVID.

From your lips to God's ears.

Let us know what we can help, and if you have thoughts on those bottlenecks.

Kudos to you all for doing it, shame on us for not.

All of us in this hearing, yourself included, are entrusted with looking after the public interest.

What are you telling consumers who are sitting there saying, I need a response, you got a 50 percent surge in consumers?

For people to sit here on this committee and say the deployment of clean energy is driving up the cost of power are living in fantasy land.

We have had 18 months of pretty good, pretty bipartisan hearings, with a recognition that climate is an emergency.

We have the opportunity to act. We have the opportunity to lower power prices. We have the opportunity to make the world cleaner.

We do not have time on this committee to make things up.

The scientific consensus could not be clearer. Climate change is an imminent threat to our health, our economy, and our national security, as well as the health of our forests.

I want to applaud all your hard work in ensuring a funding increase of $2.5 million, for a total of $22.5 million last fiscal year.

We have to stop delaying. That is an excuse.

If we are not going to take those barriers away, then why are we--why bother innovating?

If you distort markets as much as the International Monetary Fund says our markets are being distorted, we cannot fall back on this lazy assumption that efficient markets will allocate the capital.

Five hundred and fifty billion dollars a year really does distort those markets.

To totally misquote Shakira, the math don't lie, and it is imperative that our lips don't either.

It would take a particularly sadistic boss to cut someone's salary by 50 percent and then give them a 6 percent raise and ask for praise for the raise.

If I get elected 8 more times, fingers crossed, I will have as much experience in this line of work as I do in the energy sector.

This is going to be a huge economic cost, and I think we all need to reach out to our cities...
