I would just like to remind our colleagues that mines aren't just permitted and then forgotten. They're constantly monitored. The precious metals we're talking about go into our cell phones, our computers, our weaponry, and even our catalytic converters. We need these materials now, and we cannot be held ransom by China. May I remind you, 600 pounds of copper goes into every windmill. With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
