I appreciate what the gentlewoman is stating. All we are trying to do is listen to the President, too, when he says he has an all-the-above approach on energy. The gentlewoman states that electric vehicles are a clean way to drive around, but I must remind the gentlewoman that the power that they are charged by typically is produced by coal and natural gas power plants. So the argument that she is saying just simply doesn't make any sense. The EPA has already said that their emissions fits within their profile. What we are saying is let's truly have an all-the-above approach and allow natural gas to be on a natural, clean playing field. If we are going to talk about having a real conversation and not playing politics, then we shouldn't be playing winners and losers with this administration and the real fight, which is against--anti-fossil fuels altogether. I reserve the balance of my time.
