I would say to the gentleman, we all recognize the importance of green energy, but there isn't one of these regulations that we are looking to for an analysis that has any negative impact on green energy. In fact, every one of these regulations will help green energy. And, as I said, the government's philosophy right now is to do everything possible for green energy, more subsidies, a study going on all of the time on the impact on the jobs. For that reason, we do not feel that this amendment is necessary and would ask the Members to oppose the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. McNerney). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it. Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Ms. Moore The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 3 printed in House Report 112-213.
