Los Alamos National Lab has developed technology for geothermal, and there is going to be the creation of geothermal jobs in New Mexico.

We are planting wind turbines around New Mexico like trees.

No fewer than 23 of 50 States have already agreed to regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gases.

Investors across America... want to join in, but they need leadership from Washington, DC.

I believe the naysayers have it exactly backwards. In fact, we have been unilateral in our failure to act.

When we send a long-term steady signal to the marketplace that we are going to put a price on carbon and favor the innovative energy that does not rely on it, we unleash enormous, you will unleash enormous market forces.

We have not taken decisive action in this area.

The biggest bullet we have got is putting a price on carbon and a cap on emissions.

If you do the Waxman-Markey bill, it is going to cost jobs.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and thank you to the panel. You have endured a lot here, and I think it has been a very, very good discussion.

And the only reason economists tell us we aren't at $4 gasoline right now is we have a worldwide recession.

If that disappears, you realign the whole water situation.

We must protect American farms, ranches and forests from global warming before the time runs out.

Farmers and ranchers and foresters face, I think, dire threats from global warming.

I believe that the Rail Runner is an example of a forward thinking transportation investment that will provide benefits to the state for years to come.

I believe there is a tremendous potential in green initiatives and technologies to create new jobs and innovations that would enhance environmental sustainability.

Everything sort of hangs in the balance right now.
