This is the only support or involvement that we have been with a war that is the most just cause I have ever seen.

To outcompete the People's Republic of China (PRC), we need bold domestic investments and innovation ecosystems that bring manufacturing in critical technologies and industries back to the United States.

The single strongest way we can send a message to the PRC... is to pass robust, bipartisan, and on-time, full-year Appropriations' bills.

These numbers are alarming and should be a wake-up call that if we throw caution to the wind and move too quickly toward EVs without strengthening our domestic supply chain, we will be forced to rely on China for decades to come.

As the superpower of the world, we are reliant on China, Russia, and other foreign adversaries for far too many of our energy needs.

We are setting ourselves up to lose the 21st century to China.

Unfortunately, at every turn, this administration has made it clear that they care more about getting EVs on the road than they do about the energy security of this nation.

Thank you, Chairman Carper, and thank you, Director Williams for being here.

When things get tough, man, you have got to depend on someone, it is going to be the U.S. or ain't nobody coming.

This is the only support or involvement that we have been with a war that is the most just cause I have ever seen.

What is the statutory authority that you would move in this direction?

Did you have public comment on that guidance?

We have just got to press harder here because this is a national disaster.

The CEQ guidance follows a trend of Federal agencies using guidance to try to force policy or regulatory changes outside the rulemaking process and without congressional authorities.

Which has not been implemented over at the Federal Highways sufficiently to make those projects go.

As the superpower of the world, we are reliant on China, Russia, and other foreign adversaries for far too many of our energy needs.

Agencies blow by their timelines.

We cannot continue to let China get away with laundering solar energy components through other nations with absolutely no consequences.
