Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I am going to read this part. From the whooshing in the western Pacific to the windswept waters of the Atlantic, a wonderful wealth of offshore wind exists. While this wonderful resource weapon withstood the tests of time in Europe, we have waffled in our worldview on wind power. But worry not. With this worthy bill, we will warrant our Nation's territories--from Guam to Puerto Rico--will no longer be wasting their overwater reward and will be powered with the waterproof windmills. Now I have to stop because I did that for the staffer who wrote it. Obviously, I don't do this kind of stuff, and I lost the bet. However, despite the alliteration that went there, this is still a good bill which will move us forward in energy production, especially in our territories of the United States. With that, Mr. Speaker, I obviously urge my colleagues to support it and move us forward, and I reserve the balance of my time.
