Last week the independent federal Energy Regulatory commission, even one stuffed with trump appointees, rejected secretary perrys proposed power grid reliability rule to subsidize coal and nuclear plants. The ferc commissioners found that the commission failed to meet clear and legal requirements like that the result will be just and reasonable under the federal power act. As an aside here, the theory of the coal industry was that their units provide more reliability than renewables. Well, tell that to iowas electric grid operators who have baked iowas abundant wind energy not just into their flow but into their reliability modeling. Tell that to new englands i. S. O. Which has allowed renewables into its capacity auctions to be paid for meeting base Load Capacity requirements. And of course tell that to anyone who has had to deal with scheduled and unscheduled outages at coal plants. When i went on one of my climate visits to, in this case, tennessee, i heard about a coal plant that h

Ask unanimous consent the quorum call be vitiated. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Barrasso thank you, mr. President. Mr. President , i rise today to oppose the nomination of dr. Dr. Vivek murthy to be Surgeon General of the United States. Surgeon general is known as americas doctor. Americans have Great Respect for this important position. They expect their Surgeon General to be someone who has substantial experience in helping patients, helping them improve their health and in helping them reduce their risk of illness and injury. This important position has been vacant since july of 2013, so about a year and a half. Its far too long, and its been completely avoidable. Now, we have seen how the Obama Administration has struggled in response to Important Health issues like the ebola crisis. America should have had an experienced doctor in the job as Surgeon General to lead our fight against ebola. And to take on other Serious Health challenges as well. Dr. Murthy is a smar

The point is we can build on these kinds of mechanisms and to compromise legislation so as to preserve the dealer has made an spread risks across generations rather
