Can we expect our manufacturing renaissance to continue under this type of scenario?

Increased access to low-cost sustainable domestic natural gas production has helped tremendously in fueling the manufacturing renaissance in this country.

The discussion that we're having today about the EPA's overreach, it's a continuing dialog, and it's disturbing.

Unless we act soon, we are going to lose many of these benefits. He says, while the American policymakers procrastinate, other countries are stepping up to meet these needs.

We have learned, our ratepayers, our businesses and our residential customers, have said they are no longer willing to pay the exorbitant high prices for energy.

I don't know why America, Mr. Secretary, why we have to learn this lesson the hard way; that coal still provides the most reliable, affordable energy on the planet.

My district is a district and a state heavily dependent upon the coal industry, not only for reliable energy, affordable energy, but also the jobs that it represents.

It is a game changer when you are talking about manufacturing coming back to our region...

The American people have asked us to ask you the questions.

The death tax continues to pose a serious threat to the likelihood that present-day African American-owned businesses can be preserved as part of a family's long-term legacy.

Why wouldn't you want the courts to make that determination before--I mean you have seen your budget drop 20 percent over the last 5 years.

Whatever the confident assurances of the agency are, this is going to be a very messy process, and I think that everyone understands it.

I personally feel that this demonstrates an extreme shortcoming of the proposal, Ms. McCabe, because what may be called flexibility is really the closure of a significant percentage of the plants that power America.

I expressed my concern to you that TSCA reporting requirements seemed to incentivize manufacturers, for example, in the electronics industry, to landfill byproducts instead of recycling them.

It is not possible to divide privacy from security, because in most cases the security of information is the privacy of the information.

I do think that that is--the language attempts to divide privacy from security.

I submit that most physicians would certainly agree that the course of treatment for whatever that diagnosis would be would certainly be a cost consideration.

They don't have the money to comply with the EPA's clean water mandates and system mandates today.

I think the American people would be interested to know how these small rural communities are struggling and many of them are operating in the red.

You know, nuclear power is our only high capacity base load generation source that emits no carbon dioxide.

Sit down and talk directly to the Ohioans who work in those coal mines, and in those power plants, who are likely to lose their jobs as a result of EPA's actions, your actions, Administrator McCarthy.

Can you tell us why energy rich Ohio was excluded from the public hearings on EPA's climate rules?

These proud men and women produce the energy resources that are keeping the lights on and heating the homes of the majority of Ohio homes during this very cold winter.

This is not their own money. This is the hard-earned tax dollars of millions of American people.

If these rules go forward, those jobs are going to be forfeited.
