It is very important. And I think if the majority leader in the Senate is worried about people actually getting an abundant supply of gasoline, which apparently he is opposed to, then killing this bill still is not the solution, because there are some other things in here that are very important. I wanted to talk just a little bit about fuel cell opportunities for automobiles. On Monday in Hinesville, Georgia, I had a great opportunity to go for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new business called E-Motion, which makes an electric car using fuel cells. It is a very smart idea. The concept is that in Hinesville, Georgia, they will start manufacturing a smog-free automobile, so when the gentleman flies to, say, New York City or Atlanta, Georgia, or wherever, he will be able to rent an electric car. He will have a smart car. That car will be tied into a GPS operating system. The gentleman will know where he is going in it. He can return it at the end of the day. Why is this important? Because we are not saying, let us just keeping driving Suburbans forever, let us keep drilling for oil all over the globe. That is not the point at all of the energy package. The energy package is to look at the energy needs from a national security point of view and come up with a combination of what works. What E-Motion will be doing is using things like fuel cells to help drive automobiles.

Actually, if I look at what Donald Trump has done for me and middle class America, he has brought down the illegal border crosses by 60 percent. He has renegotiated trade agreements.
