1975, when they were considering these efficiency standards they were supposed to consider that the technology was really feasible and that there was an economic justification for it. But today thats beginning to be blurred and we know, certainly, at epa when they consider it, they certainly dont consider whether its technologically feasible or economically justified. So if we wanted to have a more balanced approach what were trying to do is hear from people who are involved in this on a daily basis because the American Public when they go to the Appliance Store to buy an appliance, they dont understand all about this efficiency. They just know what the price is, and then some people are telling them well you are going to save money even though its a lot more, because of the electricity that will go down. And other people make the other argument. So one of our objectives today is to just try to get a better understanding of what is the reality of this. And thats why were here. So i wan
Terrorists came from the Turkish Borders, all the terrorists inside syria. End of quote. But the examples we just heard, zadan al loush, who was killed inside syria, covered extensively by governmentowned media, he was described as a big terrorist leader by your own media. He was inside a syrian prison and he was let go in 2011 by the Syrian Government. Did you not know about his past . And why was he in prison, then released, based on that . And of course, turkey that means they did not all come through the turkish thank you so much. Thank you. Try to make the question short to give more portion to everybody to answer. Dr. Shaaban i really dont know. You know, if you are insinuating that we could possibly know that somebody is going to turn such a terrorist and we let him out of prison. He was taken to court and then he was released just as any prisoner would be released after he spends the time that he had to spend in prison. But i meant all the terrorists who came from out of syria
So its been a big week, and theres nowhere id rather end it than right here with the lanned parenthood action fund. Im grateful for the entire planned parenthood family. You made this campaign your own , whether you knocked on doors in iowa or rallied in california, this victory belongs to all of you. And it belongs to the 1,000 young activists who came together in pittsburgh last month to get organized. Cheers and applause] secretary clinton it belongs to the staff, the donors and to the providers, providers like dr. Dermish in texas who called out donald trump when he said women should be punished for having abortions and the open letter she wrote defending her patients rights to make their own Health Care Decisions should be required reading for every politician in america. And i am deeply conscious of the reality that this victory belongs to generations of brave women and men who fought for the radical idea that women should determine our own lives and futures, and it belongs to th
Greet its announcement with a measure of skepticism. Well, we know the congress has never voted explicitly to regulate co2. And would not vote today if given the opportunity. But through old statutes and interpretation of it, you know as an unelected official are impacting the economy in extraordinary ways. And i just think we ought not to forget that. Co2 emission targets for alabama are a reduction of 27 , but states like arkansas and georgia with 44 reductions are really hammered even harder. South carolina with a 51 reduction. Tennessee with a 39 reduction. Those are huge economically impactful regulations that youre putting out that we dont get to vote on. The American People arent give an voice in. So i want you to know were concerned about the problem that youre concerned about trying to make this environment healthy and positive. But we have to ask, what is the realworld impact. We know germany is backing off and reconsidering some of its very green issues. Australia recently s
To touch on that a little bit but its an area of tremendous interest to us and possibility as we look at redesigning our programs to reach a much deeper and greater audience so kathleen .
