Well, we should be able to do that.

Thank you to Senator Capito and Senator Baldwin for requesting this hearing, and to the Chairman for holding it.

They are struggling because the economic model here in this country to deploy the cutting edge emission and dual fuel capacity and regulatory pressures has made it difficult for them.

I am also a co-sponsor of the clean coal bipartisan effort to move forward with the technologies, bring value to that, and spur that along through a 45Q tax credit.

You can't build that in the United States right now in this environment, because of the expense and because of the difficulties and the headwinds that coal faces.

We can move toward emission free on the automobile side, but we have to keep moving forward on the coal side, because coal is going to be needed to power those electric cars.

Sometimes we use the VA as a good example of, 'Well, let's do this in the general public,' and sometimes we use the general public to say, 'Let's try this at the VA.'

And I want to thank my colleague Senator Baldwin for working on this issue with the Simcakoski family.

But it does show you that if you begin to monitor and if you begin to keep track and you have accurate records and you shine a light on this, you can improve the situation and you can make a difference.

I don't think anyone can argue that the volume of Federal regulation has grown over the decades.

I look forward to discussing how these narrow, straightforward relief bills will benefit American workers, consumers, and families because the cost to all of our constituents is real.
