Ben Cardin

This is a humanitarian issue and one that needs to be dealt with by Iraq.

There is a concern over safety issues upon return.

I'm not going to support a bill that is not totally paid for.

I think it can alleviate some of the concerns and there will be a more open mind in considering the legislation.

I'm not going to vote for any bill that will cut-off care to someone who is in need of care.

I think that the Obama administration has already started to restore trust in health care...

If you give people a chance to have their questions heard and give a chance for a response, I think it might be a little bit easier.

I think it would be good for our committee to have information as to the amount of public lands that are being devoted to renewable versus traditional mineral extractions.

I just hope we have the staying power in order to accomplish the goal that all of us wants to see, America being energy independent in an environmentally friendly way.

I think Americans would be surprised to learn that the Prius technology was developed in America.

I worry that we may not be doing enough to keep this technology here in America with the jobs for the use of that technology based in America.

I think it is naive not to look at renewables and doing a better job with renewables in trying to reach our goal of energy security.

The Obama administration is committed to restarting the domestic nuclear power industry.

Renewable energy presents a once in a generation business opportunity.

The Obama administration has started to lay a strong foundation.

Maryland is losing jobs because we have NOT made clean energy a national priority.

I am not impressed by big oil funded studies claiming incentives for clean energy development will cost America jobs.

It is good for our environment, and it is also, by the way, good for our economy.

That recovery bill is going to create jobs in my State and a good future for the people of Maryland.

I am bullish on clean technology for clean energy. I think that is where we are going to be having the job growth in America.

We have to have a level playing field, and we don't have a level playing field today.

This is where the growth in jobs will be in America.

Clean energy is important for this country for many reasons.

Chairman Boxer, thank you for holding this hearing, and Mr. Guzy, welcome to our committee; it is a pleasure to have you here before us today.

This is a process in evolution. We hope that, shortly, we are going to be able to circulate a reauthorization bill for comment.
