I absolutely would love to come back out to the bay area because it is beautiful, as well. In this bill, we are talking about electricity prices. China is building the electric car industry, but they are also building the power generation, like a coal plant a week, I think, to provide the energy for that. This bill we are talking about is on gasoline and diesel. Remember, everything that arrives to a store comes on a truck. Sometimes they come on a train, but the last mile is almost always or is always a truck. Diesel prices, fuel prices, matter in terms of food prices and about everything else that we consume. This is important to do. Electric affordability is also important to do, and we are committed. We will work together to get our prices down, but we have to produce more.
