Your ethanol is not as fuel efficient as gasoline is.

So you are talking about something equivalent, what we knew and talk about all the time, about gasoline being mixed with ethanol.

Hydrogen is one of the simplest and most commonly occurring elements on earth.

I look forward to hearing how the Department of Energy plans to spend this funding and how they define a hub.

It is time that we learn from their experience and their applied lessons to solve transportation and heavy-industry challenges here on earth.

What do you see as the transition for moving hydrogen?

We really need an all-of-the-above approach to give this effort the best chance of success.

This has been extremely helpful, being able to walk through all the issues with hydrogen today.

We do not always agree how to get there, and I think we disagree sometimes on how we environmentally score the impacts of these different technologies.

Government policies--unfortunately sometimes unfairly or unintentionally--prevent technologies that should be winners from floating to the top.

The challenge becomes if someone has nefarious plans to be able to build something in, to be able to put something that then could be exploited.

It is my understanding that this particular vulnerability, the Log4j, it has been around since 2013.

Thank you very much. To the witnesses, thanks for being here and for the dialog.

I appreciate that, because again, we are trying to be able to determine long-term how long this has been around.

If confirmed, I will work to ensure that we maintain our close relationship with Jamaican authorities and civil society groups aimed at reducing the level of violence and countering drug trafficking.

If confirmed, I will work hard to see that this collaboration between our countries continues to increase as we seek to reduce the flow of drugs that transit Jamaica and enter the United States.

I think the most important thing that the United States needs, and other countries need to do with Taiwan, is to be signing economic agreements with them.

There's a real risk of that in the days ahead, and there are ways that we can continue to be able to stand with the people of Taiwan.

There was a hard issue that came up last year that myself and several others were surprised at the way D.C. handled the issue of religious liberty.

Terrific. I hope we never do. But we will see a lot of other incentives and a lot of things that have been twisted around in the past on this.

We have seen before, with areas like when Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was announced, the coyotes used that moment to be able to work families in Central America and say, 'If you get your kids to America they are going to…

If we have everything on our side of the border ready to go and Mexico does not have their portion ready to go, that is not going to matter.

There are serious issues that we have to be able to resolve there, and I would like to have an ongoing dialogue.

I would love to be able to maintain this conversation, to be able to keep this going, because this is one that needs to be resolved.

That is the $100,000 amount?
