department and work to find ways that there can be greater collaboration, greater working together. i'm also confident he will pursue policies that will ultimately provide us with moreu energy, more stable sources of energy. for us, unfortunately we've got great sources of energy, but its high cost. we need to be working with theeo department of energy. we need collaboration to do what we can to reduce the cost ofnsu. energy as well as the amount of energy that we consume.cr by supporting basic research, encouraging encouraging scientific exploration and fostering innovation, the department will increase access to energy, make it more affordable, and continue to improve its environmental performance. we have 17 national labs and we are very proud of them. they are at the heart of those efforts. i've had good conversations with governor. he. he reaffirmed and recognizes any values the work done by the men and women in our national lab. one area we do not cover within our area, but is a big part of doe's mission is the maintenance and protection of america's nuclear weapon. governor perry recognizes the he is committed to working with experts to maintain a proper set of stewardship program. i believ

department of energy. and so he became famous for that, and i think that in some context, it gave us the ability to focus in on exactly how important the department of energy is to our nation, how important it is that they have vital missions on not only helping us for the r&d of the future but on national security. these laboratories that are overseen by the department drive our leadership in a global economy, based on innovation, and it plays a vital role in and across the nation on people who rely on affordable, efficient energy to balance households. the department of energy safeguards our nuclear arsenals. a big responsibility for cleaning up the voice generated by world war ii and our cold war, and it plays a key role in protecting our energy infrastructure and cyber attacks. it makes contributions to our climate scientists and the collection of management and data needed to understand our changing environment from our coastal ecosystems and a major driver of innovation. i should mention that at the hearing time of secretary perry's hearing, there was a lot of discussion on white house web sites about
