carvers and politicians have to understand that the economic engine in this country and very much theorld is driven by the travel industry. air travel, the way things get from .8 to point b, transportation of all kinds impacts restaurants, taxis and billions of additional tax revenues generated. they are bending over to pick up the pennies and penalizing the industry when billions of dollars are being impacted, jobs are being impacted. gerri: you are saying bending over to pick up the pennies and when people see numbers like $2.50 and $5 folks are going to say, jerry is not that much. but, look at this, the proposed fees alone would generate almost $17 billion. now, why do we need to-- what are we going to get that money? >> we are saying that there will protect us as we fly and therefore they need it, but when you look at the number of fires and you reflect that against the tsa budget and you think-- forget about keeping up with billing growth it has far outpaced. it's like when someone says they're tried to keep up with inflation yet raising cost 20% a year. its way out of whack wit

george washington carver developed over 100 products from peanuts. think what we could do with coal if we spent more time and resources developing our most abundant resource instead of trying to destroy it. american ingenuity would lead to our next energy revolution. but that's not happening. instead a project, the university of wyoming and the private sector were working on to produce clean energy from coal were canceled because of the president's efforts to kill coal. there is no future in selling the products that would be developed to enhance coal. we've got to trust american ingenuity. no one likes to sit in the dark, and i imagine most folks like being able to run their air conditioning in summer. states that rely on coal for their power see an average of 30% lower electricity costs than states that use other fuels. an increase of that size would be noticed by almost everyone regardless of political affiliation. we could learn a thing or two from germany. they're going back to coal after experimenting with alternative sources. they realize coal
