But I will say that I believe that this particular opportunity that we have before us is the best opportunity that I've seen in, in many, many years. So I'm here to support this particular piece of legislation with the understanding that additional work has to be made, but there are people up in the rail belt that are expecting a product. They are facing— it's not an issue that I believe that affects my region of the state, which has, I would say, some of the highest energy costs, multitudes of 2, 3, 4, and 5 times and even higher cost of energy. But that is something that needs to be addressed at a later time, and I'm here to support this particular piece of legislation. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
