I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation to Chairman Frelinghuysen for his efforts to be inclusive and transparent in drafting this legislation. The process has been collegial, and the chairman has ensured that the Energy and…

I disagree with the President's past position, potentially it is evolving. A great boon to job creation.

the Navy cannot use ethanol. They need really a substitute for the jet fuel and for diesel.

In the long term I believe that much of the inspiration to overcome both of these challenges will come from the Office of Science.

We want these teams to do the impossible. That is what we set out for them.

Is there a time frame that you have established at some point that you cross that it is time to say no?
