I want to thank you again for your incredible testimony. It's been fantastic.
You gave a number of responses to a number of questions about why the federal government would get into this in a bigger way, so as to reduce the energy use in the buildings they own or lease. We talked about protection of the health of workers and simply setting a good example. I'm surprised that I haven't heard one of you say that the top reason will be saving taxpayer dollars. I looked at the examples that a number of you provided us, which are phenomenal in the short-term and the long-term.
I wonder if you could tell us, over time, whether there is or is not an advantage to the federal government in making this investment sooner rather than later to reduce costs to the taxpayer.
