If it faces new risks, we should prepare for the new risks, correct?

By adding a little bit to the cost of fuel, you could make an investment in the quality of roads

I first thank my friend from Alaska for his enthusiasm for getting the Coast Guard legislation completed. As a fellow ocean State, albeit a somewhat smaller ocean State, we are strong supporters of our Coast Guard and appreciate very much…

It is very disappointing and discouraging to see safe and safely operating nuclear plants that produce carbon-free power have to close down

I have been persistent about trying to open the possibility of next generation advanced nuclear technologies.

I resent that remark. I represent that remark.

Can I just make sure that you have somebody on your staff coordinating with Rhode Island to make sure that you are supporting their work and everybody is pulling smoothly together on parity disclosure and enforcement?

I understand from our conversation that, as a trained engineer, you will follow responsible climate science wherever it leads...

And I look forward to working with you to make sure that somewhere in your office there is somebody who really is expert and focused on our coasts and coastal infrastructure, because we are past, I think, being able to overlook that.

I hope very much that you will focus on this.

The GAO has said that number goes above $50 billion annually before the end of the century in coastal losses...

Did that report on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act take into account any health or climate benefits from regulating carbon emissions?

You were at the Heritage Foundation Center for Data Analysis, which did a report looking at compliance and energy cost increases.
