Tim Ryan: “And the distinction is quite clear. We want to do broadband access to every household, we want to be energy independent…”

“And the distinction is quite clear. We want to do broadband access to every household, we want to be energy independent in a decade, we want to fund research and development, and we want to have a tax credit for venture capitalists to come in and pump money into those industries. The Republican majority wants to give the oil companies $16 billion. It is that simple. Put us in charge and we will have an energy independent Nation in 10 years, period. Let's get the country going in that direction, Mr. Meek. And like Ms. Wasserman Schultz said, we can use sugar cane, we can use ethanol, we can use biodiesel, and we can use wind. We can use all these things. And nuclear. We could piece this thing together, but there's got to be a commitment to say why do we have all our eggs in one basket right now. And then you look at the problems in the Middle East and all the rest that we have.”
