Thank you very much for being here, Director.

I think there is a persistent effort to limit our effort to support wildlife and hold off the great extinction to only what can be monetized.

Let's make this a 'can.' We really do need those 30 gigawatts; we really do need these jobs.

The scale of this is really pretty staggering. The figure I use is zeta joules, the joule being the unit of measure of heat energy, zeta being a number that has 21 zeroes behind it.

Thank you very much for being here, Director.

So it is really a dramatic effect. And it is not just a fraction of our fossil fuel energy expenditure, it is a vast multiple.

The oceans have been estimated to be absorbing 14 zeta joules of heat every year, multiple Hiroshima level explosions worth of heat per second happening in the oceans.

I hope sent a message that bipartisanship may actually emerge in this area.

From our perspective, I think there is no national lead ban on hunting on Federal lands.

I personally regret that Senator Braun has chosen to term limit himself because I really value him as a colleague.

It would be fair to describe that as crashing the American solar industry.

I've never heard a colleague say you know what? Methane leakage is a really good thing. We're for that.

That is the Default on America Act that House Republicans are taking our economy hostage for.

They seek to cause chaos. Not coincidentally this serves the eccentric and secretive billionaires and polluting industries who are the Republican party's funders.

Come to the table. Work with us to simply pay our country's bills like we have so many times before.

What is in plain view in the House Default on America Act is 275 out of 315 pages that are giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

It doesn't control spending, so let's just get rid of the debt ceiling all together.

my hard earned experience tells me that when the Republican Party acts on pollution related and corruption related issues, the Party acts as the glove for fossil fuels dark hand.

That is the Default on America Act that House Republicans are taking our economy hostage for.

What House Republicans have voted for is one massive gift to the Chinese government.
