Harley Rouda: “Let me be clear: nuclear energy has an important role to play in our Nation's energy needs.”

Earlier this year, we learned the damage that could be done to our communities by just a one percent under count.

In fact, in Orange County in my district, we learned that if there is a one percent under count of low-income students, schools could lose over a quarter million dollars in Federal funding.

A one percent under count of low-income workers in my district means a loss of approximately $160,000 in Federal funding for job training programs, apprenticeship programs, and career counseling.

For every $1 we provide for renewables we provide $3 for fossil fuels.
