On the recordNovember 13, 2014
As was mentioned by Mr. Polis, these jobs are important if they are in transportation infrastructure. That creates real jobs in this country, getting goods to market, and my friends on the other side have resisted transportation infrastructure jobs. Clean energy is permanent jobs. Wind and solar are permanent jobs. The only permanent jobs are the cleanups. When the U.S. and China have come together in historic agreement is not the time to light the fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the planet. For these and other countless reasons, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.'' It is time to return our focus to an issue that centers on true energy independence through renewable sources and greener, domestic energy production.
