http://ThoriumRemix.com/ The hearing of the subcommittee on energy will come to order.

Mr. Rohrabacher:
Numerous engineers who are renowned engineers... People who know what they're doing... Tell me that there are a number of approaches that would eliminate the leftover waste problem but everytime I hear about it, coming back, what will be
built? Again it's light water reactors. I don't understand what's going on here? Why are we spending money to build reactors based on the same concept that we have been building ever since World War 2 ?

Dr. Lyons:
I believe that the light water reactors for the foreseeable future will be a bridge between the industry of today and an industry of tomorrow.

Mr. Rohrabacher:
What we've got is not a bridge to tomorrow but a protection of the status quo.
