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

The Federal Government has failed, and continues to fail, to find a solution to our country's nuclear waste problem.

I believe the NRC must exercise its full authority to enforce safe practices at the site, which unfortunately has a history of inadequate transparency.

California does not harvest ballots, contrary to that false narrative being perpetuated.

the President has three straight years tried to make massive cuts to the NIH. Wouldn't that diminish our opportunity to continue to have innovation in the development of drugs through that public-private partnership?

But dollar for dollar, it is cheaper to build for durability over the long run.

If we had universal healthcare, much of the issues that we are having when talking with Gilead about and any other drug manufacturer about those costs, many of those disagreements would go away because we would have properly funded…

Today's witnesses will help explain the dangers of letting domestic companies fall victim to state-subsidized companies.

H.R. 2739 directly addresses this issue and ensures that workers building and assembling transit cars are competing in the free market rather than against foreign governments.

The NIH plays such an important role in the development of new drugs, yet the President has... tried to make massive cuts to the NIH.

Climate change isn't a question of if or even when. Climate change is not our future. It is our present. Kids with asthma are finding it harder and harder to breathe on their walks to school or to the playground. Raging fires have reduced…

This amendment recognizes that American cities, States, and businesses are stepping up and pledging to meet the Paris Agreement goals in the wake of absent and uncertain United States Federal leadership. While the current administration…

I stand today as a cosponsor of this important amendment offered by my colleague and fellow Californian, Representative Torres. Our State and many others across the country are showing the world how to take meaningful steps to meet our…

if we had cleaner air, cleaner water due to using renewables versus fossil fuel, there is a clear impact, correct, in the cost of healthcare?

The point is, is that the current consumption of fossil fuels and the impact it has on climate change is real.

there's absolutely clear evidence that climate change is influencing these disasters.

there's a very clear signal, which is robustly supported by IPCC with very high confidence, our own national climate assessment that heat waves are more common already because of climate change.
