I would like to see that kind of data and information presented to this Committee in the future.

when we discuss climate change, we often speak about the future--a future in which rising temperatures and seas displace millions from their homes around the globe, devastate agriculture, and damage critical infrastructure. This future is…

the news about climate change certainly feels daunting. In the United States, we have historic wildfires, hurricanes, storms, and floods. Severe weather has upended people's lives, destroyed businesses and homes, and is now costing the…

So as I watched the different kinds of ships that are being built within the United States--I am talking about Jones Act ships that qualify on all three criteria--they tend to look more like container ships than they do roll-on/roll-offs.

So how many ships are receiving stipends who may not be used? Do you have a number?
