“I rise in support of sound energy for American citizens. First, I would like to thank the Members and staff of the four committees, the Committee on Energy and the Committee on Science, the Committee on Resources, and the Committee on Ways and Means, who have all worked so hard to bring this bill to the floor. There are a few points that I would like to address that I believe are crucial for the future stability of energy in America. First, I commend the inclusion of the hydrogen provision in H.R. 6, which is consistent with the President's call for alternative fuel sources in the future. We must actively pursue increased efficiency of fuel, reduced energy consumption, and additional research into alternative fuels such as hydrogen. The future of our economy and prosperity will ultimately depend on our ability to discover new ways to provide energy for our cars, homes, and businesses. Another important aspect of energy policy is the reform of nuclear and worker safety regulation at the Department of Energy.”
