today i had an interesting discussion in greenville and spartanburg, south carolina. they were entitled what's wrong with cap and trade, what's right with using free enterprise to solve the challenge that we have. so what's wrong with cap and trade, we came to pretty solid agreement on that, madam speaker. it's a massive tax increase in the midst of a recession. it's a wall street trading scheme that really would make any trader on wall street that led us into this recent debacle blush, and it's really a proposal that's going to end up decimating american manufacturing because the tax on energy would be applied just domestically, wouldn't be applied to imported goods. the result is we would export productive capacity from the united states to other countries that don't have price on carbon. it's a real problem. it's something we've got to stop in order to get to the better. the better that we discussed is a proposal that actually a bipartisan proposal at this point, that jeff flake and dan lipinski and i are supporting which is a plan to basically do a revenue neutral

he went to greenville and managed and went 58-81. think -- plenty of room and he overran it. nick does that on occasion. he overruns the ball and it comes back in fair territory. >> rob: he played with the yamayuri giants but it wasn't for that long. >> bob: this play has to be made. >> rob: it is a play to be made. this place is tough to look at. a lot of girders. >> bob: they have given nick johnson his 6th error of the year for prolonging this at-bat. and gabe kapler goes to left field. are you kidding me? a foul ball dropped and a pinch hit homerun. ron villone and the nats were out of the inning and now rays are in a position to win the game. >> rob: look at the pain from ron villone after this pitch. >> rob: villone in and gabe kapler just swinging on it. >> bob: boy, that is a crusher. how many times have the nationals given their opponents extra outs this year. that's an unearned run because of the error. so the nats have given up two unearned runs of the of the four tampa bay has scored tonight. dioner navarro, the catcher.

one of the reasons we didn't have the problem that we have at greenville, mississippi, where we're crossing the mississippi river is that we had a categorical exclusion on the environmental document. we were able to go to work. we were able to do design bill and go to work in construction in 15 months, with rode cars across the biloxi bay bridge and the bridge of st. louis. >> that's a great result just like the bridge in minneapolis. of course, it was replacing a structure that had collapsed. there were a great many steps in the permitting process that did not have to be repeated but there was also an element of that project that was very important. it has missed public attention and that is the contractor had a facility -- had a building near the construction site, rented for the period of construction, and minnesota d.o.t. and federal highway administration district engineer office also had offices in that building. separated a corridor apart but they walked back and forth daily, daily, reviewing plans, discussing needs and cutting through the approvals -- cutting the time of approvals t

that new one is a 29-year-old greenville, south carolina, native, lucas glover who conquered the field yesterday in new york to win the 109th u.s. open golf championship. with people from around the upstate youed to the action, the high school -- grewed -- glued to the action, the high school graduate rallied from one shot down to break into the big time in the world of golf. winning his first major championship since joining the pga tour in 2004. we've come along to celebrate the culmination of lucas' years of preparation. his family, wife, jennifer, and close friends have been there all along. in the good times and the bad, in the disappointments and the small triumphs. yesterday they added a huge triumph and we join them in the celebration. congratulations to our own u.s. open golf champion, lucas glover. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio rise? >> madam speaker, i request permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. kucinich: thank you. we all want to prot

i know bmw is then greenville in spartanburg. it is there a situation, tax policy, regulatory policy and all the rest, that is ever going to allow that industry to flourish again? >> real quickly, i sure hope so. i have always thought an american car. i just wrote a column about the subject. a beautiful red camaro convertible, by midlife crisis car but i want america, i don't want those jobs to disappear and it is important i think that we have, it is not final but we be good to have an auto-- american on the manufacturing industry. we are now at the precipice of basically having three groups running the auto industry. the united states government, the united autoworkers and the sierra club and folks that is a prescription for disaster. the problem is, if washington is running the car companies, it is going to be politically driven. we want grain cars, we want the plosive car come of this car come of that car. i don't see that turning to possibility. >> as long as we are speculating i will at that i think there will be an auto in
