With all due respect to my colleague, I don't think he understands my amendment. Nuclear energy has zero emissions. Hydrogen has zero emissions. Natural gas has much-reduced emissions compared to coal. The advantage of nuclear energy is it is always on. Renewable is not always on. This is a chance to give the importing companies a chance to have clean energy, affordable energy, and to be able to advance their economies using U.S. know-how and technology, which leads in several of these areas. I urge a ``yea'' vote for my amendment because it is the right thing to do if we really care about emissions reduction, affordability around the world, and being able to export the United States' leading technology and clean energy. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
