So, what you are saying is, when you are deploying wind and solar here in the United States, we actually don't need the United States military deployed, as they are in the Middle East, to make sure that those tankers can come?

I agree with you 100 percent.

I agree with you 100 percent. We just have to move very, very rapidly if we are going to deal with these threats as they are unfolding.

President Biden made the right decision today and I applaud him for that.

We have to permanently wean ourselves off of corrupt foreign oil and gas by investing in a clean energy revolution.

We cannot wait for big oil to do the right thing or we will be waiting for as long as it takes for carbon to become a fossil fuel.

We have an absolute responsibility to ensure that we put in place the protective measures.

So I think it is a great example of how we can move out of the old view where EVs were regarded as a luxury item and recognize them as something that, with support from our policies, should be accessible to everybody.

A lot of these companies, they have landscaping on the side of their truck as they pull up, but it is really land scraping.

We are subject to all of the same threats that Rhode Island is subject to.

It is imperative for us to focus upon communities, upon equity questions, upon making sure multi-housing units and communities that probably aren't always thought of to be the first place where electric vehicles are going to be operating…

Last year, Chairman Carper and I reintroduced the Green Streets Act.

Just know that we are committed to having the United States be a leader once again by the end of this year so that the world has our nation to look to once again.

When I was in Kabul, the delegation from Congress arrives wearing armor, helmets.

How do we make sure that those courageous people get the funding?

I think what I heard clearly was, new American nuclear is an economic opportunity, important to global security, and a climate imperative. It needs to be enabled now.

We are actually marking at $200 billion for carbon capture, and $200 billion for carbon capture and sequestration.

This is a perfect subject for discussion in the Build Back Better Bill.

So, in addition to nuclear plant bailout, which is in this bill, there is also a doubling down on the infrastructure bill, and it is a $2.5 billion Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program by making taxpayers foot that bill for additional…

Let's just talk about that as a state-of-the-art for the industry, and there still is no known meltdown for a solar or a wind project in the United States.

The beauty of Build Back Better is that the tax that all these incentives are technology neutral.

I believe that these two issues can be pursued in parallel.

I am very open in the Build Back Better Bill to adding on to what we already voted for in the infrastructure bill for the nuclear industry.

If we don’t on climate, we miss, one, the ability to create millions of new union jobs in clean energy.

I agree with Joe Biden, we should prioritize climate. It`s largely been negotiated, the financing is there, and we should use it as the foundation.
