But this notion that we have to keep this going because it just creates jobs and jobs per megawatt, it just baffles me. I rise in support of the gentleman's amendment. We're borrowing 41 cents on every dollar. We ought to save money where we can. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR.
