Happening in terms of natural gas in the production generated in this country that is far less polluting than coal, and i think on that. Eed to focus we need to look at the carbon generating coal fire plant and make sure that we are not having to dramatic and impact or having a dramatic impact on rate payers, and also, we have to be concerned about the economy in the areas that are dealing with this. I believe we have to get away from carbon generators as the primary source of energy in this country, and this is one way that needs to be explored to do that. Like the nlrb, the epa is another agency thats out of control. Certainly, our Coal Companies in the state of virginia know that. The policies my opponent discusses are killing our coal industry, and then he is not supporting things like offshore drilling, the keystone pipeline, and other ways we can have more Affordable Energy. The way you get an economy moving is to have Affordable Energy. Our gas prices have gone up. If you are th
Physically at least invest in those countries or asset class is. Then i think how the world will change with the emerging markets to riga heavy lifting producing the stuff that we consume and we thought this was a good deal. That has not been of a good deal for them ended gravy train for americans but that will and and when the producers start to consider what will they consume . So what somebody in china will buy will be different than what the american buys in china if they buy a car chases are it is the first car but in america they just trade the old one and. In china it is printed do so there is a lot of steel and resources. A lot of the cars they will get from lusby will sell them the used cars we cannot afford to drive because gasoline prices are too high one of the reasons they are driving less is they dont have a job. Why Energy Consumption is down so much but it will go down more because now they will have jobs but cannot afford the gasoline because as the dollar collapses wh
Jump in. Dont be shy. Certainly i think from my little world of this surveillance world where so much trust has been lost, especially for users outside the United States, i think the simple but very meaningful steps would include updating u. S. Surveillance law. Weve got some good vehicles for that. Weve got great vehicles right now for reforming the Electronic Communications privacy act which is one of our domestic surveillance statutes. Get it to be consistent with the standards that most companies are complying with any way in the United States. Statutes are way out of date. The second is addressing the National Security authorities in the United States, u. S. Freedom act is one vehicle that does a nice job of addressing concerns. Particularly issues of bulk surveillance by u. S. Natural security. Those are two very important vehicles that are there ready to be passed and can help reduce the concerns about aggressive u. S. Surveillance. I think theres also a great need for the Unite
Perceived need by jurisdictions to enact extraterritorial surveillance laws or put in place data localization. Even simple changes to make it so we are the United States better at honoring our treaty obligations under assistance treaties and other vehicles. It can go a long way to reducing ome of the pressure. Theres a couple things i want to say. One, i think that we should put this in context and perspective. In the first instance, yes, there have been a lot of moves in the press and discussion about data localization. The biggest threat, most real was in brazil. It was passed earlier this year. There was at one point provisions mandating data localization. Those provisions were remove ed from the bill in part because of the recognition within brazil that doing so had negative repercussions for brazilians themselves. Were seeing that kind of educational process taking place around the world. People see its not in their selfinterest to invest in these data a processes. As it relates t
