You have to stop and ask yourself, if the products have been out there for that long, you have to ask yourself, why is this a recent occurrence?

We need to do prescribed burning and good forest management. That will help mitigate this.

And who is hit worse by those costs? And that is the poor folks in our economy.

But yet the policies I hear put forth and the ideas put forth today would increase electricity costs for American citizens.

We have the opportunity and arguably the moral obligation to export U.S. energy to energy-poor countries.

I support that as a long-term storage facility.

Your Governor just decided not to decommission reactors and keep them online. Why? His own words were, 'We can meet our attainment levels. We can meet our lower carbon footprint by keeping nuclear in the mix.'
