Much of the written testimony for this hearing focuses on the financial risks and stranded assets.

I certainly hope that we can find that way back, because a lot of folks support Starbucks because the employees were treated well.

I would like to highlight for the witnesses and for my fellow Committee members, another type of stranded risk.

I appreciate that, and one area, Mr. Chairman, that we've been able to do some work in an area that was completely ignored, which was included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure package, was to plug abandoned and orphaned oil and gas wells.

So I am looking for how that information was gathered.

I just hope with all of this--that it's not a policy.

I venture to say there is more than 16,800 homes on the Navajo Nation that don't have electricity.

Investing in tribal energy projects is not just good policy, it's the right thing to do.

If that is a problem, before we have an incident--we know it exists today, and if that is broken in the system, let's fix it.

I support people doing well and profits in this regard. This was a national pandemic.

I certainly agree with that. But I want to bring attention to the challenge that you identified, and I appreciate you identifying it.

Would paid leave help? If people are getting worn out and tired and things of that nature as well, and you want fresh eyes so we don't see mistakes, would that help?

Yet Moderna announced that it plans to sell the vaccine in commercial market from $110 to $130, which is a 400 percent increase.

Thank you, Chair Cantwell and Ranking Member Cruz for this important hearing.

There is a low price and there is a lowest price, and then there is a broken price, and then there is a discount price.

Please, no loopholes. Filings, rulemakings, we can all do better at that, and I certainly hope that is something that we can embrace.
