I will take 30 seconds and yield to my friend Senator Inhofe. For the reasons we already said about public health or the protection of our Clean Air Act, I urge my colleagues to defeat the Rockefeller amendment. Let me add one other point. The American renewable energy industry has written to us and told us that the uncertainty of a 2-year delay is more than 2 years. It causes American renewable energy companies to be at a disadvantage with foreign energy companies, costing Americans jobs. Uncertainty adds to job loss in America. For the sake of the public health of Americans, for the sake of our economy, I urge my colleagues to reject the Rockefeller amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
