Jeff Bingaman actually said...

"In the Senate I work to advance policies to reduce greenhouse gases about 20 clean energy sources and greater efficiency."

"The purpose of the hearing, the focus of it, is to talk about the impacts of climate change on the Intermountain West."

"While election year politics will keep this legislation from being enacted in this Congress, I hope it will serve as a foundation for passing legislation perhaps in the next Congress."

"Thank you, Senator and Chairman Bingaman for this opportunity to testify on the critically important issue of climate change."
