I believe there's a new era. It's been totally changed.

I certainly join them in applauding your leadership at the State Department.

I urge you to continue supporting plant biotech research in Global Hungry and Security Initiative, particularly in places like Africa and Southeast Asia.

I specifically appreciate your partnership with Secretary Gates to marry the hard power of our military with the smart power of our diplomacy over the long run.

We need much stronger cooperation to make sure the military leaders understand that they are under civilian rule.

if we--with the double taxation, the punitive taxation, we penalize them putting American CEOs in--in charge of it.

'Ill-timed or imprudent regulation'--and this was of greenhouse gases--may squander critical opportunities for our Nation, impeding the investment necessary to create jobs.

They feel 'they have a responsibility, the workers in the industries' of their States to question their plans, and so do I.

I appreciate those kind words from my good friend, Senator Cardin.

The one thing that does concern me a little bit is when Dr. Phil Jones, the head of the Climate Research Unit, told the BBC on February 13th there has been 'no statistically significant warming over the last 15 years.'

They expressed their 'serious economic and energy security concerns.'

During consideration of legislation we learned it would kill millions of jobs, raise energy prices for everyday necessities like heating, power and gasoline, and collect trillions of dollars from American families, farmers and workers for…

We all know the EPA's vain attempts to make up new law and tailor the Clean Air Act to exempt small emitters will be swept away in the first court challenge.

I realize that a heavy snowfall that canceled one of our global warming hearings is not, in itself, any evidence that, there is some uncertainty in climate change.

Let me welcome our witnesses and thank you for the very open and generous way that you and your staff have worked with the minority.

It was always my understanding that the many detainees in Gitmo were never intended to come to the United States for trial.

I believe that robust diplomatic efforts should be made, with the goal of effecting international agreements among key actors regarding cyber security.

Unfortunately, most of the new good paying, middle class supporting manufacturing jobs in the solar industry are going overseas to countries like China and Malaysia.

American workers desperately need new jobs. U.S. unemployment rates are too high.

I support incentives from the Government for nuclear power, accessing offshore energy reserves; biofuels, clean coals, and yes, solar power, the subject of today's hearing.

However, we must guard against proposals that use the promise of these jobs but actually end up killing jobs and raising energy taxes, such as cap-and-trade legislation or back door EPA regulations.

any type of comprehensive planning or documentation that describes in detail exactly who is expected to supply medical isotopes in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of the U.S. patients without disruption.

Even a short period where patients cannot get the medicine they need could have consequences.

This is an example of how Senators can come together and legislate in a bipartisan fashion.
