it's not like the baseload, the natural gas baseload. and the repatriation piece in the senate and the house. the problem with that it isn't a baseload, it is one time and i can think of any number of projects from state and locals l since the private sector and that would be good. the last thing i want to mention a, big car aficionados, we lost the chrysler plant in the gm plant, but one i had interesting was the chevy volt and as you know, it has the ability to run on a battery for maybe 40 miles and go on gas. they can do about 200 miles and i hope they buy a lot. they are not going to use them in diesel fuel. there's going to be more. let's see if we can't get states to do some of that. we are going to see what we can come up with. we might be onto something here. if we can develop autonomous vehicles all the way across the country maybe it would generate at the federal level and state and local level. folks in states voted in wyomi wyoming. how do they do it overwhelmingly, they one. but in washington people were voting for these be

and i think we need a baseload for funding for transportation. i think the problem with that is it is not base load. it is one time and a big one time. i can figure any number of projects we would help take the money and leverage other number money from the locals and private sector and that would be a good thing. last thing i want to mention. i am a big car affection and within six months within the great recession it was painful. 4,000 jobs were gone just like that. but one of the cars have a lot of interest in is the chevrolet volt. the chevrolet bolt has the ability to run on batteries for 40 miles and the ability to run on gas. anybody every right in a volt? detroit auto show this year had the award for the car this year and the chevrolet bolt won. it uses battery and can go about 200 miles. .... the stipulation. let's see if we can get the states to do some corroboration and the laboratories of democracy. and jen: and and about others involved where the epicenter of this on the east coast. to see with what we can come up with. -- i call it

and nearly half of the geothermal plants producing baseload clean energy in this country are located in nevada alone. so overall, more than 2,000 megawatts of utility scaled renewable energy in nevada, enough to power nearly one million homes, has been built to meet nevada's needs. that is includes geothermal plants, 12 solar projects, 6 hydro facilities, 4 methane l projects and one large wind farm and one energy recovery l station. just some of the examples we're doing here in nevada and yet they continue to try to ram yucca mountain down our throats as if we're not doing enough. as we examine viable solutions to the waste problem, it is important to note that there are some promising technological developments that could fundamentally change the nation's waste storage needs. there are new reactor technologies that could repurchase -- repurpose previously generated spent fuel, produce carbon-free electricity with little or no waste. international research and development on innovative storage solutions and recycling processes could also be part of that solution. given the yucca cen

the de-repatriation which we like -- the problem, not baseload. it is one time. can think of projects we could help fund or help use the money to leverage other money from state and locals and maybe the private sector which would be a good thing. host: mark calling from philadelphia. what is most important to you when it comes to the nation's infrastructure? caller: i guess it would be fixing some of these roads around philadelphia. they are in pretty bad shape. the one thing i want to comment on which is sticking in my crawl , president obama wanted to do this eight years ago and the republicans blocked and blocked, would not do it and now all of a sudden, they are jumping on this infrastructure bandwagon. because republicans are doing it? it was not good when the democratic president wanted to do it? now it is good? how to fund this, repatriation of the profit from corporate america overseas? did my tax return last week and i cannot negotiate my tax rate. .t is what it is let corporate america pay the tax rate like everybody else. host: beverly is calling in fr

doesn't need new power for the next 15 years, sell a new nuclear power plant capable of selling new baseload power for the next 16 years and turn around and buy unreliable wind power that height be available for 20 30r years until the -- 30 years until the turbines break down. t.v.a.'s leadership has made sound decisions, decisions that will benefit rate payers and our region. to full till its -- fulfill its mission to provide affordable power for the region's homes and businesses, it has opened the first nuclear power reactor in the 21st century. and i may say, going back to senator whitehouse's speak, nuclear power is emission free. no sulfur, no nitrogen, no carbon. nuclear power produces 60% of all of our carbon-free electricity. t.v.a. is placing pollution-control equipment on all of its coal plants. t.v.a. has done this while reducing its debt and reducing electric rates, which is good news for jobs and economic development in the region. mr. president, even if t.v.a. did need more power, which it has said it does not, t.v.a. should not agree to buy more wind power which is comparative
