Joe Barton: “I don't think this committee is going to afford the relief that quite frankly our agriculture community needs.”

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.

I think that Mr. Flores and Mr. Shimkus have done a very good job in trying to patch together a compromise bill that's good politics.

There's a saying that a lot of us use quite a bit. It's called no good deed goes unpunished.

If we did that and went to a pure market for ethanol, it would work.
