Ann Kirkpatrick: “I appreciate this opportunity to discuss my bill, H.R. 2614, the 'Veterans Advisory Committee on Education…”

I look forward to working with you to prioritize solar and clean energy infrastructure and jobs in my home State of Arizona and across the country.

So we have large swaths of land, Tribal land, especially in northern Arizona, that the power lines run right over their Tribal land and that they are not attached to the grid.

SNAP and our Federal safety net programs are a hand-up, not a hand-out, and many of us on this Committee once utilized the program.

Running a power line doesn't really make sense, but if you have stand-alone energy resources for those communities, to me, that makes the most sense.
