I really must commend my colleague and my friend, Mr. Young, on the introduction of this piece of legislation as we're looking for more individual entities to go to green energy and save fossil fuel. Besides, it saves many other things that we've talked about in our committees and subcommittees, so I'm glad to see this, Mr. Young.

I commend, again, my colleague and my friend for introduction of this piece of legislation. I yield back the balance of my time.
