Political Quotes

“I also want to commend the gentlewoman from West Virginia for bringing this amendment forward. I am pleased to support it strongly, and encourage other Members of the House to do the same. Coal gasification is a promising technology which can increase significantly the efficiency of electricity generators. It also produces useful by-products, such as hydrogen, that can be used in traditional manufacturing operations. In addition to that, because the carbon dioxide stream is brought off separately as a part of the gasification process, CO2 potentially could be sequestered, with all of the attendant environmental benefits that that promises. So I think the gentlewoman is making a constructive contribution. I thank her for bringing this amendment forward. I am pleased to encourage its adoption.”
