I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 9, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''. Page 35, line 15, after the dollar amount…

I have confidence in the good faith of the chairman and the ranking member. I know that you're both concerned about this, you've said so now, but I also know that you've demonstrated this at other times. So what I would ask is that we…

I think we all understand that there is a tension, natural tension between a consumer and a producer.

I want to thank the chairman. I also want to let the chairman of the full committee and the ranking member know that I appreciate their support for the Gulf War veterans in the previous amendment. I also submit that this particular…

What I sort of do object to, Mr. Chairman, is that we have a spray of six people in six different industries.

the notion of putting it under an umbrella that regulations are killing our economy, they are killing our job creators. That is total nonsense

I think there should be rules and regulations, and I would bet that everybody on this panel thinks that there ought to be some standards.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 9, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $7,800,000)''. Page 35, line 15, after the dollar amount…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank all of you for your testimony.

I did not vote for the stimulus which provided these funds and, frankly, I find it absurd that the President is trying to force expensive so-called green energy down the throats of the American people.

What does that mean?

We have China wiping us out on the solar industry and I am just concerned that we be sensitive to American business interests.

Now, look, in this era of Citizens United, you know, and pay-to-play, what really is extraordinary is that we brought somebody in front of this Committee who is actually qualified for the job that he did.

But when we want to say, well, the Department of Energy's entire loans program is a broad scandal, political favoritism, pay-to-play.
