Joe Barton: “Ralph, we love you. We will miss you. You are a great guy. We will see you soon. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance…”

It is always good to have hearings like this to try to, through bipartisan basis, get facts on the table.

I am a little bit skeptical if we are doing this simply because we don't like natural gas power, we don't like coal power, we don't like nuclear power, because that would be an added cost that somebody's got to bear.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you, sir, for appearing voluntarily without subpoena and standing or sitting there all by yourself.
