we have to get on that trajectory and we have got to find a way to get there

The position of the NRC has been very reactive about this.

I don't know why on earth the technology that drives our subs and our carriers has never been able to make it into the civilian fleet.

Nuclear power does not contribute to carbon pollution, and there are new technologies out there.

We are just talking about some common sense steps that can bring Republicans and Democrats together around cleaning up our climate.

I am so excited about this bill, when Senator Murphy talked to me about it, is it is really a bipartisan breakthrough.

Action to limit these super pollutants can help slow climate change over the next several decades while also providing important co-benefits to public health.

I think it's ridiculous that the NFL and other sports teams enjoy tax-exempt status.

I am honored to have this considered as a breakthrough, but phasing down these pollutants can be done more quickly and relatively easily.

with a great deal of respect and deference to my good friend and an extraordinary Senator from Arkansas, I actually do object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. Unanimous Consent Requests--H.R. 1033 and H.R. 503

There is no more eloquent a person when it comes to good government than Senator Coburn, but I do not modify my request. I object. I ask unanimous consent that the previous request I made be agreed to. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there…

What I would like to do, because I fully support what an extraordinary and very important piece of legislation this is, honoring those who served and fought and fell in Desert Storm--what I object to is the decoupling of the two bills…

What the incident does for me is just underscores the importance of addressing the movement of hazardous materials by rail.

I agree with the assessment of the urgency and have asked the DOT to provide further guidance.
