So I say to my friend, I do not personally know how we are going to produce our way out of this situation. We are not going to do it by drilling in ANWR. So when this legislation is ended, we are going to get nothing out of ANWR, and we are going to have no more fuel-efficient vehicles. So I ask my friend, isn't the only thing left for the American consumer to look to with pride that we will have done on the energy bill is to do something with renewables? Isn't that right?
