Chuck Schumer actually said...

"I very much appreciate the opportunity to testify."

"Under Senator Schumer's bill, the federal EERS would require electricity savings of 15 percent, and natural gas savings of 10 percent, over the course of a decade."

"This bill, which I have introduced with Senator Sanders, would set a national goal for energy savings from retail electricity and natural gas distributors between 2012 through 2020."

"we appreciate the efforts of Senator Schumer and others to shine the spotlight directly on energy efficiency with EERS legislation."
