"When things like a cooling tower fall down and the reaction on the part of the company that runs it is that it's not really a big deal, that doesn't provide great assurance to the people of Vermont."

"I don't think that Congress is the place to go to resolve this."

"I regret, obviously, that we're here. This is not a personnel committee, and it is regrettable that there is this conflict at the senior level of the Commissioners."

"A lot of the situations that you are uncovering just reflect the impossible expectations oftentimes that Congress has."
