On the recordJune 15, 2004

Reclaiming my time, why are we cutting out the public when it comes to renewable energy? Why has this side of the aisle refused to debate the issues that are the real issues here, getting our power companies to participate and go forward with renewable energy? It seems to me that there is a lack of wanting an open debate. They want a closed system. They want a closed rule. They do not want any amendments. I do not understand it, but I guess they just do not want an open debate on these issues.
