College. The Senator got involved in building solar cars and racing around our country. To me, that is a tribute to the lessons of what you are talking about; that is, No. 1, we are the leader globally in innovation, but we are also one of the leaders globally in education and training and preparing people. So this idea--and I see it in schools in Newark and in New Jersey--is kids innovating in robotics competitions, kids innovating in sciences, kids using technology and using the platforms created by big companies to do things that have value and work. So let me put my colleague on the spot. Forget Tesla. Long before we even knew what Tesla was, my colleague was doing something with solar cars back in college.
