I think it is easy to be against a lot of things, but the question is, what are we for as a Congress. We are for encouraging conservation. We are for encouraging energy efficiency. We are for the use of alternative sources of energy and renewables. That is what we are for. The great thing about this country, our country, is when the American people are given the truth, they can make the determinations that best suit their needs, their families, and their businesses. So what we are for are lower energy prices, lower electricity prices, lower gas prices, and at the same time, it strikes the balance by protecting our environment and providing safeguards so that the industries do not run wild. That is what the underlying bill does. I commend the gentlewoman for complementing that and doing what is right and responsible for now and for America's future.
