We are eager for your leadership.

We need to stop acting as if we have to choose between clean energy and fossil energy and instead focus on solutions for workers in the clean energy transition that is clearly already happening.

Change is coming whether we seek it or not. Coal production in the electricity sector has been falling for years for market reasons irrespective of any Federal policy, and we can support these communities and these workers by investing in…

I think that one of the most pernicious and really tragic contaminants that we see affecting disadvantaged communities is heavy metals.

It is past time to think a little bit about southern California for future investments.

I am hopeful that President Biden's recently proposed $80 billion plan for Amtrak will include a significant, transformative investment.

The second busiest intercity rail corridor in the Nation, the LOSSAN Corridor, begins in San Diego.

We need to make substantial investment in the Amtrak system to make it a viable and enticing public transportation option.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Graves, and thanks for hosting Members' Day for your colleagues like me to share our requests for the committee in the upcoming surface transportation reauthorization.

I like the way their market--I understand their markets allocate resources in an efficient way.

Electrifying everything is one key component to GHG emissions-reduction strategies.

That is why titles II and III of the CLEAN Future Act are so important and timely.

The Oversight and Investigations committee, as you mentioned, held a hearing this morning on the power crisis in Texas.

The 2021 National Academy of Sciences report concluded that building a national hydrogen pipeline network will play an essential role in meeting a zero-emissions target by 2050.

Modernizing the energy infrastructure is a vast undertaking that includes expanding and upgrading long-distance high-voltage transmission systems

I wanted to hear, if you are able--if you are familiar with the bill, what you thought the benefits of that approach might be.

I would like to talk about that and see whether you thought that was a good approach.

I think that is great.

Let's remember that all of the climate benefits of natural gas are lost unless we deal with methane.

In order for Buy Clean to be as successful as possible, it should be complemented by investments in innovation and the commercialization of strategic new technologies in the industrial sector.

I believe there is a role for nuclear. I believe there is a role for looking at streamlining permitting, particularly for renewables.

Policymakers at all levels of government must find ways to make every dollar go further, and should consider enhanced public-private partnerships and risk-transfer opportunities.

Equity is a key tenet of the Biden administration's national COVID-19 strategy.

I don't think there's any credible international leadership that can be 'Do as I say, not do as I do.'

Fortunately, the Biden administration has instructed EPA to immediately review the methane rollbacks as well as many other climate-related rollbacks undertaken by the prior administration.
