and it's good to see my friend, congressman watt. we have worked together on so many things from privacy issues to voting rights act, and i appreciate that collaboration. i should tell chairman franken, and i thank him for his responsible leadership he's done on this issue of privacy. we have come about it naturally. i see the smile from a friend of mine in the audience who probably has heard this story more than once. but one of the few things i've ever saved written about me in the press, and actually framed it was a sidebar to a "new york times" profile. i put this in perspective. you have to understand, my wife and i live in an old farm house in vermont on a dirt road. we celebrated our -- well, actually part of our honeymoon there nearly 50 years ago. 50 years ago this summer. and hundreds of acres of land and fields and all that have been hayed and watched over by an adjoining farmer's family from the time i was a teenager. and they've known me since then. so the whole story goes like this. this saturday morning reporter in an

you get the per watt price. you divide this by this. you get the price per a.c. watt. you want to ask about permit fees as well. each city typically will charge fees. now those fees are coming down and we're working very hard to get them standardized and clear. there is some cost. sometimes the installers will pass that on to you. ask how they're dealing with it. you say, ok, what's my watt. let's see it was four d.c. but you'll have 18% less here, so that's the number you want, you divide this by that and you get that. so this would be 926 a watt. therefore, you can compare apples to apples. they have a standard calculator that they use on the web and they include that printout on your bid and they have to file that printout in your rebate application. so there is another possibility of lowering costs, the group buy. when i went, in i went in with a bunch of friends because i thought i wanted to bring people in because i knew all of these people, these greeny homeowners that were needing to walk the talk and because i brought a lot of businesses vendor, they lowered a

rumors circulate that watt was a rebel sympathizer. that wickoff was a foreign intriguer. which he probably was. probably in league with the confederacy. if mary lincoln is giving state documents to such men as these, wasn't it possible that she was a rebel too? the charge is ridiculous. we have no evidence that she was anything other than perfectly loyal to her husband and to the union, but there were spies in washington. mary had behaved at least imprudently, and she did have a brother who liked to kick dead yankees. so the public may have misconnected the dots. they definitely didn't invent them. not a few bitter tongues remembered witness began to roundly assert that mrs. lincoln herself was in constant correspondence as a spy with the chiefs of the rebellion. through her they obtained the secrets of the cabinet and plans of generals in the field. it is from that moment forward even as she's about to lose one of her sons, because of that potomac river water that's pumped into the white house, even though she's in a period of mourning, it's already fixed, their opinion

look at it, a small system 1.2 kilowatt systems, it produces 1.2 kill what's in full sun or 1,200 wattsrystal lynn it could would take 500 panels. in thin film it would take this much space. they would produce the same and at current prices they cost close to the same. let's look at the typical system components here and i'll show you how they're laid out on the house in a minute. we know what the array is. they're hooked together. they're mounted to the roof by rails and mounts. they're hooked together with wires and switches and things like that we call that the balance of the system. it's a relatively minor component as far as price goes. so your array is mounted to the roof. it's wired to the inverter which is a simple device that changes d.c. current to a.c. current. that's all it does. it fits on the side of the house next to the meter typically and isn't very large. about this big, a foot square maybe. so that's they typically are warranted for 10 years. they're probably last 15 years. so on a cost analysis for the system typically run an inverter replacement at year 15. the inve

delegate watts, let me start with you. how did this all go down? what happened here? what are you hearing in virginia tonight? >> well, the governor walked it down. it was only a very small step back from the brink. he mentioned in the clip that you used that women have a right to know, well, anyone in elective office has a duty to understand. and although we have a new bill before us in ten minutes, we were told to -- that we had to vote on that bill. we could not take it off the floor for real study and the bill that he drafted, his bill, is full of mistakes. is full of insensitivities and lack of knowledge. you mentioned the one. someone who has rape still has to go through an ultrasound. he also thought that he was fixing, but did not understand that there are various types of miscarriages. and he is forcing a woman who is going through a miscarriage, but the body has not totally expelled the unviable fetus, she is going to have to listen to the nonexistent heartbeat. she is going to have to look at that ultrasound before she can get the medical attention that is

watt is recognized for three minutes. the gentlemen from north carolina. >> i appreciate the opportunity to substitute for my friend lacy clay, the ranking member of the sub committee because he is unable to be here because of a conflict. and i'm glad to see my friend president paul back from the campaign trail. this seems to be like dejavu all over again, since i was the chairman of the monetary policy sub committee and he was the ranking member. and i got to go back-to-back with him quite often. since i'm substituting i think i can do something out of the order today and that is praise the work of my good friend, chairman bernanke, for doing his job. and really not bowing to the political pressure of either the right or the left or political pressure of republicans and democrats since the federal reserve is supposed to be free of all of those influences and i just are think he has done a magnificent job be and the fed has done a magnificent job of navigating us through some very, very difficult times even as we will, i
