Harry Reid said "Of course. That is why I came to the Chamber, because the Senator is making a lot of sense. I feel so desperate to get something that helps the American consumer when we finish this energy bill, which we have been talking about for so long. Does the Senator realize that in 1990 the United States produced 90 percent of the electricity produced by wind? We produced 90 percent 10, 11 years ago. Today, we produce--not 90 percent--25 percent of the power. Germany--the relatively small area of Germany--produces more electricity by wind than we do." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
