As I'm sure you're aware, I introduced bipartisan legislation with ranking member Heinrich to accelerate the adoption of geothermal technology. I included provisions of that legislation in the energy title of the One Big Beautiful Bill. But unfortunately, My Democrat colleagues used the Byrd rule to strip those provisions out of that bill. So Those weren't able to make it into law, even though they could have under that circumstance. Nonetheless, given the circumstances, we've got to continue to focus on finding ways to develop this energy resource. (06:54–07:00)
