To the Member, to the gentleman, we are also getting another benefit because the catastrophic wildfires that we are seeing out West are a contributor. There is more carbon and pollution that occurs during these catastrophic wildfires in one day than in a year of exhaust from cars. What we do is we get a benefit there because we have a much more dynamic forest, much more dynamic interfaces. The fires are smaller. They are not as catastrophic, so we don't go further in debt. This is something that the Natural Resources Committee has been pushing under Mr. Bishop's watch, and I thank the gentleman. There is plenty of benefit in regard to understanding the natural cycle of plants and trees.
