I thank my good friend from Rhode Island. I have been to his State, and we have gone to the algae farms. It has a lot of potential. I agree with the Senator 100 percent. I applaud Senator Heitkamp and Senator Capito for leading the effort to update and improve this tax credit for carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration. We have the support of 25 Democrats and Republicans--totally bipartisan--and when you have Senator Whitehouse and Senator Barrasso on a bill, you know you have a real bill. It can happen. So that is very encouraging. Senator Capito and I come from West Virginia, and Senator Heitkamp comes from the energy-producing State of North Dakota. Coal was one of the most abundant energy sources in the world. It is lying on most continents, and most countries have it, and they are going to use it. It is a very efficient way of producing energy because it is plentiful.
