Been given one year, thats a very real problem. But there are real costs being expended by the states and also i believe this administration is not interested whether the rule is finalized so long as the marketplace moves away from them. If coal fired power plants have to be retired quicker than baseline, then theyre going to accomplish the goal, even if this regulation never is upheld in courts. Thank you i want to follow up on this. Ill wait until the second round. Senator markey. Thank you madam chair. I ask that two articles by jed ee freedman and Richard Lazarus be included they provide thorough analysis of that clean power rule. So ordered. Pope frances is about to issue on Climate Change. They named the jesuit who taught chemistry as the pope. Pope frances believes science is the answer to our prayers, we have to look at modest ways to look at this to reduce the danger that growing Greenhouse Gases will impose to gods creation of the planet. I think it is important for us to fin
Shuddering coal generation in the state of oklahoma. Its a concern 3r5k9ically and a concern legally. Looking at it as a nonattorney, you look at the tenth amendment which refers to reserving power to the states do you think this is consist went the tenth amendment . Well, i think this case and i would add this to the comments earlier from a fellow panelist, i dont think its terribly novel for us to have a dispute or a case about statutory construction. You know, i indicated that it is a Traditional Police power to regulate Power Generation and for the federal government to intervene or to invade that, it has to be the statute has to be explicit and clear and unambiguous, and i think by virtue of our discussion today, its demonstrative that that is not the case. So, senator i think its less about the tenth amendment and less about states rights under the tenth amendment and more about statutory construction and whether the epa possesses the authority that you gave it to regulate in thi
Reverberate around the nation region. The nations around russia are feeling this also. We do not ask any country to choose ties with the u. S. To the exclusion of anyone else. We reject the false was is imposed by anyone else. We support the aspirations of Central Asian states to pursue a multivector foreign and economic policy. We know the threat of violent extremism is another danger for the region. This year the United States opened a summit to kickstart a conversation on the most effective weight to destroy isil and broader extremism. There were highlevel delegations sent to the summit. The summit we held in washington not only considered the challenge of countering extremism, preventing it, reaching a large pool of alienated young men and women susceptible to the call of extremism by giving more economic and political opportunity. It is a challenge that requires us to take stock to make sure were fostering societies in which citizens feel they have a stake. In this atmosphere of u
Suddenly, their rates would skyrocket. You would have a domino effect. Everyone else in the individual market in that stage would suddenly be jeopardized. Some private Insurance Companies would see their portfolios in grave jeopardy, pretty quickly. I would say, having been there for not only all the debate and testimony, all the hearings, that led the implementations there was never a conversation suggesting testimony amendments, during the passage of the bill or certainly any regulation that we ever wrote, any conversation i had with my former colleagues, governors around the country that said, oh by the way, if you dont set up your own exchange, your citizens wont have coverage. I think it is a it is difficult to read what is a National Framework national law, National Coverage and say that this was the intent but that is what the plans adjusts. 34 states have not established their own exchanges or operate their own. If the Supreme Court ruled that this funding mechanism was not con
Or working with darpa as we are doing and with fda on this toxicity chip. Working on the brain initiative, a new effort which isugoing to be focused between nih and nsf and darpa and a number of private industries and philanthropies trying to make sure these kind of interdisciplinary efforts that jim was talking about are tapped into in every way. We are always looking at that. We are even looking at our peer review system to ask whether while we claim its the best in the world, are we sure about that . And are we sure our peer review system is reflecting the scientific opportunities of 2014 and not some earlier stage, and do we these to rethink about the way in which those peer review panels are established as far as what disciplines they represent. And we have the tools now with various kinds of text mining to really look and see what is going on in science that we might want to make adjustments for. So were pretty bullish about that. Another thing we are doing, again, this reflects
