I believe the Yucca Mountain should go forward, and we should supplement that with another search.

We are going to have to hold hands and do this in a bipartisan manner.

The sport of condemning each other when either side tries to touch the third rail of policy in this town.

I think the American people are rightly curious about what the Democratic House priorities are.

I think we need to look at nuclear, Mr. Chairman. I haven't heard much about that in these conversations, and I hope that we do.

The challenge is is that every time we try to come up with a new solution that it creates an environmental problem and I think we need to be responsible when we do that.

I want to say, Governor, there is one area where I totally agree with you. Well, let's say two areas...

I would like to drill into the allocation of the budget real quickly, if we could.

I would like to see rural America have just as much access to capital and technology as my constituents do that live in urban and suburban areas.

I am pleased for my colleagues to hear your perceptions about our industry and to dispel some of the myths about our industry.

If we are serious about the threats of climate change, we need to accelerate the deployment of more emissions-free next-generation nuclear power.

I hope that your side of the aisle will continue working with us in a bipartisan manner to address this critical issue for the American people.

$850 in southeast Missouri is not crumbs. To some politicians in San Francisco, California, it is crumbs.

Some of the testimony today, I think, has been somewhat inflammatory and a little bit reckless, particularly economically reckless.

I do agree that, as we have future hearings on this subject, we need to consider the gnarly environmental footprint that some storage technologies have.

You have got to be careful how you do this.
