Mr. Chairman, we have a number of challenges when it comes to developing a balanced energy policy for the future of our country. First of all, we have to look at the future, and all of us can talk about where we want to go in terms of our future energy needs and how those needs are going to be met. We can talk about wind power and solar power, about fuel cell technology and all of the new things that are coming on line, and the technology that is being developed; and I think that is great. I think we all know that one day that is how we will solve the energy challenges that we have as a country. But we also have to look at the needs of today and what we are currently using and what we are dependent on and how we meet those challenges. The solutions that we come up with in this bill identify both of those, needs and challenges.
