There is no requirement for traceability for the remaining 60 percent of the species entering our markets, which includes most of the seafood originating in Russia--like pollock.

This is an important hearing, and I think we have shed some light on a subject that absolutely deserves and requires it.

Because technology has advanced so far, it is not like cutters, like it used to be in the old days.

I expect the seafood ban to go on for even longer, much longer.

That is just mind-boggling.

there actually is some urgency in doing something about the importation of Russian seafood. We need to bring that same sense of urgency to the problem of how our seafood import system is actually funding the Russian war machine.

NOAA must immediately take steps to expand SIMP so that we can keep slave-caught, illegal, and Russian seafood out of this country and stop funding Putin's horrific war.

While I fully support the President's goal, I regret to inform the President and all of you that this well-intentioned ban won't work, not under current laws and policies, not under the less-than-watchful eye of the National Oceanic and…

I have been leading the charge for postal fleet electrification along with my friend Representative Connolly for nearly a decade now.

It would be really hard to cook up a model or a business case that favors lumbering internal combustion vehicles that get an average of 8.6 miles per gallon over EVs.

Thanks so much for this important hearing.

I am proud to be cosponsoring the Postal Vehicle Modernization Act with you, Chair Maloney, and with Representative Connolly.

They will literally be the last internal combustion fleet vehicles on the road 20 years from now.

Mr. Huffman. Terrific. And then we haven't heard from Mr. Westerman yet, but he does have a bill with a wonderful title, Trillion Trees Act.

We should not be looking to the fossil fuel industry that has been writing their talking points on these subjects for solutions to this mess.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, there is so much I would like to say about my friend, Don Young. And some of you are probably wondering how could Don Young, the crusty, old conservative from Alaska be friends with a…

Extreme fossil fuel dependency is how we got into this mess, both the climate crisis, and Putin's war.

Doubling down on decades of new fossil fuel dependency cannot be the answer.

Our gas is cleaner than Putin's gas.

In a decarbonized world, you don't have to pick the prettiest horse at the glue factory.

The Administration's America the Beautiful initiative outlines how we can achieve conservation of 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030.

Indigenous people, we know, have lived on these lands since time immemorial.

This is data that should not be ignored.

The grid has never failed here because we had too much renewables. This is a canard, this is a myth that we continue to hear.

We have an increasing amount of battery storage that is helping keep our grid working.
