“we have heard the same thing over and over. This is only the second day. I guess we have maybe 10 days to go. The junior Senator from California is so interested in the fact that it is only up by 2 cents a year. Looking at the Energy Information Agency study, what is interesting about that is the Energy Information Agency study presumes that we would have an additional 260 nuclear plants on line. When the appropriate time comes I will be asking her that question, if she supports that. We have several speakers coming down. Senator Grassley from Iowa is coming down, so I will visit a little bit until he gets here. Then we want to go on schedule, and I am hoping we will be able to go back and forth and hear from a number of these Members. First, I thank my colleague from Wyoming. I don't know what he experienced this last winter. When the Senator from California talks about temperatures and all this, it happens that we in the State of Oklahoma have had the worst cold spell during this last winter than we have in 30 years. I find this to be true all over the country. You just can't have it both ways. One of the good things about this discussion and this debate is we are not going to be discussing the science. I know the Senator from Massachusetts talked about the scientists in the IPCC. I have to remind my friends across America, really it was the IPCC. That is the United Nations, in case nobody knows who the IPCC is. They are the ones who started all this.”
