And preferences, how should the federal government handle, or should they had all in promoting fuel and efficiency related that inadvertently or not may push in the direction that perhaps does put us in a situation where we are picking winners and losers. So the short answer is, our members prefer an approach that is Technology Neutral. So that the short answer. The longer answer is more complicated. We identify with the goal of reducing carbon. We identify with the goal of reducing fuel dependency. All of those things are noble objectives. The complication comes from the nature of the regulatory regime, and what we have is an approach that were measures by mpgs, epa measures by Greenhouse Gas and that there is an overlapping state program from california which is executed in other states and the lab program is effectively not Technology Neutral. It is either to comply to and in todays world most electrification. Both were complying but different regimes create friction and at a cost.

In a report being issued today we examine two types of industrial radiological sources may mobile and stationary. We found loath posted 30 challenges even following Security Controls. Iaea officials have said the transportation of highrisk sources is the most honorable part of the nuclear and radiological supply chain. Energy requirements to ensure security for these mobile sources provide a general framework that is to be implemented by the licensing.

Yes. Why is the president not considering Ground Troops at this point that the administration has had troops there, why is that not on the table . Because we dont believe that thats the approach that we should take in this case. We would agree with senator mccain who made that point today that that was his view.
