Seniority actually means something in the Senate.
Lisa Murkowski
You’ve got to move us to these technologies that allow us to get to the clean-energy source. If we can’t work to reduce the cost, you’re not going to see them implemented unless there is a path of unlimited subsidies, and that’s not doable, either. We can kick-start the research process, but we have to do that from a position of economic strength.
