The good news is--and this goes back, again, to the test bed concept--where I think the Defense Department can really make a contribution is using its procurement power as an early technology adopter.

But the idea was to take some next steps on vehicle-to-grid, where again we use a whole fleet of batteries in vehicles for storage, maybe for electricity you can create by offshore wind or onshore wind, or by solar or other renewables.

I understand that the power purchase agreements allow the private sector to economically make use of military land to build solar-powered generators.

OK. Thank you.

We probably can learn from what other countries have done in that regard.

Well, I would say this is the change we need.

There are those kinds of unanticipated consequences we just need to be mindful of.

And in return for that, the Federal Government gets less expensive electricity.

Yesterday, I got to drive the Chevrolet Volt. I call it the most advertised car in the world that has never been built.

Like Rutherford B. Hayes used to say, good policy makes for good politics, or something to that extent.

In about 4 hours and 45 minutes, my colleagues and I will be over in the House of Representatives, and we will be hearing from the President.

That is a good sign. Thank you.

That is huge.

Many would argue that nothing should get in the way of this mission or make it harder for the Department to achieve it.

Well, what should we do about that?

Several Delawares.

Well, that is great to hear.

But there are some who are supportive of giving you that kind of flexibility.
