Here's the written transcript of that, and ALSO SOME VERY INTERESTING DATA THE US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY HAS PROVIDED. link and "enjoy" IF YOU COPY THIS VIDEO, YOU MUST PROVIDE THE LINKS. PLEASE COPY AND FEEL FREE TO RE-UPLOAD AND SPREAD THIS INFO for those of you who missed Arnie Gundersen's testimony, here's the link to it.
