If they would be successful, do you have an idea of how many jobs could be lost?

I support the idea of the renewables in a big way. I am delighted, but as a result of that, someone's losing.

So why I think it is so important that if we are serious about developing baseload we have to be able to take that into consideration on how we are going to be able to replicate the success that occurred at Longview.

But yet we have perhaps conflict and maybe you can help clarify that in keeping prices low. West Virginia now has lost its stature of being number two in lowest cost energy costs to now the 26th, just in 10 years.

I want to get this bill passed. I want to get it out of this committee. I want to get it on the floor. And I want to get it passed and signed into law by the President.

We have got to understand when we debate these issues we are all sensitive that there are consequences with it.

We have got to make sure that energy resiliency and that we do an infrastructure bill it isn't just the bricks and mortar for transportation.

I think the Guard and Reserve, that is bothered me since I have been here that we didn't call a Guard and Reservist a veteran and it just bothered me, tremendously bothered me.

I want to also acknowledge Congressman David McKinley and Congresswoman Dina Titus for recognizing this challenge early.

What better way to fill a high-tech job than by helping a qualified veteran obtain the education they need to compete for these high paying positions.

And another one for me are the Gold Star families that lose a loved one in service to our great Nation and then find out that we are not treating them the same as others.

And I think the Purple Heart recipients, I mean, that goes without saying.

We believe that veteran education benefits are not a cost of war, but instead a right of service.

By listening to our veteran constituents, we were able to take their idea and turn it into a piece of legislation that will help all veterans.

After many years of effort and turns in the road, we are pleased the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2017 will eventually become a reality for our Veterans.

I have all the confidence that we will develop a bipartisan approach that will develop this.

The bipartisan H.R. 2903 would direct the FCC to implement regulations that establish a national standard.

Because I think far too often in this country we focus on our urban centers and our rural communities across this country are shortchanged on access and other opportunities whether it's health care, growth, water, sewer.

If Europe is so much out in front with $8 billion, do you know what kind of numbers we are putting into this, into the research, into a smart meter?

I think it also has opportunity for us where we have some serious leaks where people can't get water that a mobile unit could come in and be able to provide them water service during the interim period of time.

I think it is whatever, you know, Congress directs these agencies on what they need to execute and we execute on what we are told to do.

I visited the recycling facility in La Hague in France, and they told us there that the cost of the recycling was very expensive and would require substantial subsidization if we were to embark on that.

I believe is worth a final determination by the NRC.

I admire the chairman for his not blinking.

It has been very beneficial not only for the environmental effects but for the economic effects as well.
