David McKinley

The more fly ash we can put into it means we can pour more concrete as a result of it.

I was impressed with the robust level of activity, construction activity. I saw roads under constructions, bridges being built.

Members of Congress, Congressman McKinley, thank you for listening, thank you for championing brownfields.

These men and women have trusted Congress to protect their livelihood over the years. We should not betray their trust.

We have a moral obligation to consider the future of the communities and the people that live in Welch, Gillette, Petersburg, and Harlan.

Wouldn't frontline communities be better off if Congress developed innovative technologies or efficiencies to help eliminate these emissions?

It would completely destroy the economy of the city of Welch and the entire region.

With all due respect, Congress has a moral obligation to consider the human consequences of its energy policies.

The idea that by 2050 we are going to have 100 percent renewable system is not realistic.

I don't think even by 2050 we are going to be ready. The devastation it's going to do to our country is incredible.

The Green New Deal says by 2030. Nine years, 10 years--is that a long time?

Ethanol is cost effective right now and, like I said, you know, ethanol is being used.

The ethanol production and blending has gone up to record highs, so even when these exemptions have been granted that they say were so sinister in the last 2 years plus.

We have to find a replacement for lithium.

I think this whole concept of 100 percent renewables by 2050 is interesting. But I think it is delusional to think that in some aspects that we are ever going to achieve that.

I love the idea. I think it is--for an engineer I think it is fabulous to be able to have this kind of aspirational goal where we might go with this.

I think we should be spending more time, instead of passing legislation like this, putting more money into research to find out how we can do, how we can actually achieve this.

Wouldn't you be suspicious? Because we have had to deal with this pretty severely.

But we can talk to each other.

I want to--what are ways that we can provide some additional funding or something for nonopioid rehabilitation treatment?

And they talked about the tone, the accusatory language that is used, the lack of civility.

But I was in Boston for a meeting up there, and I heard the same thing from people on the street, and we talked to the waitresses at how people--what is going on in Washington.

I think we virtually owe you an apology for the way you have been treated here.

I was proud to support the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017, which was signed into law on June 23, 2017.

It is imperative that the authorities conclude this investigation as soon as possible and provide answers to the public, closure to the families and justice to those who lost loved ones.
