I will yield for the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert), but first I want to add to what the gentleman said because it is on point. We are funding $5 million for the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry; we are funding $15 million for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and U.N. Framework Convention; $2 billion to the SEC, which they use to help advance the very ESG constraints on the flow of capital that is constraining our ability to produce energy; $3.2 billion to the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, which funnels taxpayer dollars to unreliable green energy; $825 million for DOE's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, which gives credit handouts to massive oil companies; $450 million for DOE's ARPA; $29 million to administer a DOE loan program responsible for the Solyndra debacle. I could go on and on. I have got a list here. All that money to go to the Department of Energy to keep spending taxpayer money to screw up American energy and drive up their energy bills.
