  1. The witness is basically correct, depending on area/region: Solar and wind energy is now among the cheapest forms of energy that can be produced, and it will almost certainly get cheaper and cheaper as the years pass. That is because the price of solar and wind energy depends on manufacturing cost of equipment, not on the cost of the resource (wind and sunshine, which is always zero). Like with cars, smartphones and washing machines, the manufacturing cost is likely to go down over time.

  2. So that means "NO"! If it was his policy to 'bring the troops home' from Afghanistan and Iraq, he would surely have told his press secretary.

  3. While I agree with Sen. Hawley on this question, there is an important point to be made: Confirmation hearings of judges are NOT about the judge's personal opinions. Those judges do not face the Senate as private persons, but as judges. In other words, their job/work/profession and professional opinion is being tested, not their personal opinion. As an example, an architect might be asked to build a house that he/she thinks is ugly, a chef maybe asked to cook food that he/she thinks is bland or boring, an Uber driver may take you to a place that he/she has no interest in going to. That same Uber driver may hate his car, but if it does the job, then it's good enough.
