We need to deploy every available tool at our disposal and address this crisis, including the best available science and economics, which I believe is also represented in the social cost of carbon analysis. I strongly oppose the Mullin amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Himes). The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Mullin). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
