As an engineer, I am deeply concerned and troubled by the FCC's decision to repeal the ban on paid prioritization and kick the scraps of net neutrality over to the Federal Trade Commission.

I think even the people who work in the network, either for good-faith reasons or marketing purposes, might not be able to pinpoint where the problem is and then actually help the customer to solve it.

My State of California is committed to reducing tailpipe emissions and getting vehicles on the market that use less fuel and emit less carbon per vehicle mile traveled.

I am troubled by the larger trend we are witnessing of protections across the board being eliminated.

I am very glad that we were able to get the Improving Broadband Access for Veterans Act into the omnibus bill.

I really truly believe that humanity is going to depend on fusion power for the long run.

I have to say I've been an enthusiast for fusion energy since college, since graduate school.

Shouldn't we be careful before we green light exports, unlimited LNG exports, without consideration of our national security interests?

If we fail to enforce all of our environmental laws we will continue to create new dangerous sites, adding to the national Superfund priorities list.

As we sit here today holding a hearing about increasing connectivity, the FCC is voting on an item that would do just the opposite; namely, a proposal to dismantle the Lifeline Program.

It's absolutely critical to reduce carbon emissions and prepare for the changes that are coming, in other words, mitigate and adopt.

Climate change is happening, and the effects are accelerating faster than the scientific models predict.

Despite the objections of Congressman Jerry McNerney, the Coast Guard took no action to reverse the plan.

I am very disappointed that instead of focusing on finding solutions to address the opioid epidemic, Republicans have been engaged in an nonstop effort to repeal Affordable Care Act, which would have a devastating impact on people…

Well, one of the things that we should be worried about is the implications on national security and national economy.

Is it going to be more of a cooperative international effort or a competitive international effort?

I care a lot about resiliency and reliability, and that's why, with Mr. Latta, we formed the bipartisan congressional caucus on grid innovation.

I am deeply disturbed by the Trump Administration's proposed budget for the Department of Energy.

Innovators like the ones supported by our ARPA-E program are key to advancing America's energy economy.

Bipartisan industry leaders like Norm Augustine and Bill Gates have repeatedly called for tripling this agency's budget.

It would completely eliminate ARPA-E, an agency that has already demonstrated incredible success in advancing high-risk, high-reward energy technology solutions.

The proposed cuts are just absolutely puzzling. They just make no sense.

I don't think that's based in reality.

Let's get back to reality and continue our strong support for these high-value research programs.

The Administration's budget would absolutely decimate the all-important field of materials science in the United States.
