Mr. Speaker, this has indeed been a long process. I thank the Chairman and the ranking member for providing us with the leadership that has given us this balanced legislative product. Conservation, production, alternative energy sources, and new technologies, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, are all part of this energy bill that we have before us today. In my district, back in the Texas, this bill is significant because we have a big solar panel production plant in Keller, Texas; we have a wind turbine plant in Gainesville, Texas, up in Cooke County. While people know we have lots of wind and lots of sun in Texas, they may not know we have garbage in Texas…in my hometown of Denton; we have a new biodiesel plant. The energy for that biodiesel plant is taken from the city dump - truly a balanced way to achieve new sources of energy. Mr. Speaker, again, I thank the chairman for bringing this bill forward and I urge my colleagues to support it. I yield back. Watch Video
