<strong>John Kerry</strong> (D-Mass.)
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.eenews.net/climatewire/2010/02/26/2/">E&E News</a> If we want to get the economy moving, it seems to me, you have to build out an American grid. We have a gaping hole in the middle of our nation, which prohibits investment.</p>

<strong>John McCain</strong> (R-Ariz.)
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.eenews.net/Greenwire/2010/02/25/1/">E&E News</a> I appreciate anybody’s efforts that’s trying to do anything, but I can’t join in an effort where nuclear power is basically out of the equation. They announce they’re closing Yucca Mountain, and they will not recycle. You can’t get there from here. You can have all the titles you want, but it doesn’t work.</p>

If it were to pass, I don’t think the president would sign it, an automobile company in Detroit making cars they send all over America, each state would have its own <span class="caps">CAFE</span> standards. Not the way to run a country.</p>

<p>It [Rockefeller’s proposal to delay <span class="caps">EPA</span> regulation] clears out matters of that sort, and leaves them with the powers they need to have, but concentrates on the emission problems and gives us more time.</p>
