The Senator raises, of course, a basic question. As we talk about energy, what we are talking about is the future of our economy, in terms of jobs, in terms of doing the things we will want to do economically and environmentally. I have the same kind of feelings about my place in Wyoming. We have mountains and we have areas we are going to protect. But that does not mean we ought to avoid the idea of having a notion of where those resources are, and to be able to use some of them where they work together, preserving the environment. Certainly the U.S. Chamber, certainly the National Association of Manufacturers, are concerned about the future and the availability of energy so we can create jobs and continue to build the future economy.
