I will try to do it in 30 seconds. The bulk of our emissions reduction has come from the transition from coal to natural gas. Most of the critical science that is behind the shale revolution was developed within the national lab system, particularly at the National Energy Technology Laboratory, proudly located in western Pennsylvania. Of course, private-sector innovation played a huge role, but there were many key scientific advances that would not have been possible without Federal investment paid for by this very Congress. That is how we are responsible for many of the emissions reductions that have taken place and that will continue to take place in the future.

I would just note for my colleague's edification the strong role that the Federal Government and national lab system played in the very energy innovation that he was mentioning in his remarks. It was not done by the private sector alone…
My personal opinion is these people shouldn't have run for Congress if they were so afraid to walk on the House floor without their guns because they're not allowed to bring them on the House floor.
