In order to get there, we have to be on a glide slope that says by 2020 that we have to be reduced by 20 percent.

I have not been a friend of increasing truck size, as you may know.

It was a nice tribute that the people of New Jersey gave me.

We need to make that commitment.

The U.S. is a third world country, maybe even a fourth world country, if that is possible, when it comes to passenger rail.

I fought like the devil, and we got $13 billion over the next 5 years reauthorized for investments in Amtrak.

We had the opportunity in the last couple of days to talk to people from the E.U., members of the Parliament, and we discussed their investments.

Amtrak, for instance, which is a major focus of mine, not to prejudice your thinking, I promise, but it is a lot more efficient than airplanes, 24 percent more efficient than automobiles.

I defer to Senator Carper because he has worked so diligently on this section of the bill.

Clean energy jobs aren't limited to manufacturing and installation positions.

For Mr. Kempton, there is a great deal of energy potential off our shores, but not all energy is created equal.

Tell the states that, we're about to render penalties if you don't put action into force.

Mr. Chairman, if you want me to get into the technology business I'll be happy to give it a try.

I keep thinking of 812,000 people now and now and now and now forever, except it will grow as the population grows.

I, immodestly, am the author of the 21 Drinking Age Bill and the .08 bill.

I just think that's slow, and I keep thinking of 812,000 people and 500,000 people injured and 5,000 killed every year.

We've been having terrible problems in the State of New Jersey with accidents.

Unfortunately, incentives don't carry the weight.

I'm interested in saving lives here.
