“this amendment creates a national market for renewable energy. A bill similar to this has passed the Senate three times and also passed the House once. These are the jobs of the future--renewable energy jobs. More than half of the new generation of energy in the world is in renewables, and this amendment--it is estimated by the people who have studied it and the experts--would create about 300,000 new jobs. So I ask my colleagues to support it. It is a good complement to the bill we are on, and it would create a lot of new jobs. I yield back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alaska.”
