On the recordJune 19, 2008
I am standing here today to encourage my colleagues to sign that petition. If we won't deal with it in committee, let's bring it forward to say there is oil under the ground in ANWR, off our Outer Continental Shelf, the Bakken Reserve out in North Dakota, Montana, we have shale oil reserves, we have coal, clean coal technology that we can use, we've got nuclear power. We have articles written by the founder of Greenpeace who says we ought to be using nuclear power. It's clean, it's green, it doesn't add to the greenhouse effect, it's safe. We ought to be using it. We have the opportunity, if we'll just take it right now, and I'm encouraging people.
