Make people aware. One statistic i saw said the average american spends six minutes per year thinking about their Energy Decisions compared to a study that people check their phones 60 times per day to per day. I read that too, a person picks up the phone 1500 times a day and sleep within three feet of their phone and it is on we dont have that level of engagement in the Energy Sector and part of it is the nature of the industry, our nation has been a command and control industry, the consumer has no choice if your provider is given a monopoly in whatever geographic area, but that is all changing so we need to make people more aware and fortunately there is a series of products coming along that are somewhat more interesting maybe they are not iphones but i find in my own life that people are more interested in the prospects of making their own electricity with solar power now the price point is where it needs to be. Electric cars are obviously interesting so the technology exists, the
To actual temperatures, two things are readily evident. First, temperatures have flat lined over the last 15 years, and secondly, an average of over 100 climate models from the last decade show that the Scientific Community did not predict this would happen. To my knowledge, not a single climate model ever predicted that a pause in Global Warming would ever occur. Senator sessions is going to go deeper into this. The truth completely contradicts the president s statement and begs the question as to why he and the epa not only continue to deny the truth but why it has raced to stop this information from disseminating into scientific record.

These clean air protections protected our health but allowed our economy to grow exponentially. Unfortuna

Am for school choice. Toward anklegether toward incremental progress and we can get to where we want to go. Gentleman on the outside . This is the last wetjen, so make it a good one. Im with the magnet schools of america. I want to get your impression about magnet schools. Its the largest in Public School choice. Do you think embracing a magnet approach could be a good way to bridge the divide between the two parties considering magnet schools generally respect the right of teachers to unionize . Under the purview of a School District as far as administration, they are the largest part of Public School choice and give parents the right to choose and they encourage competition. Increasing funding to magnet schools through federal programs and embracing that approach may be a good way to move forward .
