Joe Barton: “Is it the goal of the EPA to get to zero emissions, i.e., basically shut down the U.S. economy?”

I would repeal every existing regulation and law on oxygen and CAFE standards.

I think it's good to have this and I think it's very good that we try to work to tighten up and, as the gentlelady just said, let's determine what the real intent is and then legislate accordingly.

But I also think I speak for the majority and the minority that we hope that this is something that can move reasonably expeditiously and that means actually end up in a bill the President signs in this Congress.

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