And Ohio as we do about these alternative energy programs that we are subsidizing. No one is subsidizing those coal miners; no one is subsidizing their families that have lost their means of living, but we are going to subsidize all these other companies--maybe they are doing good things, maybe they are not--because we have a lopsided understanding about how to produce energy in this country. Let the energy sector go. Let oil and natural gas and coal go. Look what we have done to the price of oil and the price of gas just over the last year because they have innovated on their own. They don't need the government to innovate for them. They need the government to get out of their way. If the gentlewoman wants to respond, I would be happy to yield to her.
