Dan Lipinski: “Mr. Speaker, this is another great effort that we are making, another important step in helping to reduce our energy…”

“Mr. Speaker, this is another great effort that we are making, another important step in helping to reduce our energy consumption in this country. It's critical for national security, our economic security and to combat global climate change, and certainly energy efficient buildings, great work is being done in this, and much more work needs to be done. I have seen at the Department of Energy lab the work that is being done on some of this. I think much more needs to be done. This bill will help to provide these opportunities for more students, more people to learn about what it takes to make our buildings more energy efficient. Again, I commend Mr. McCaul and Mr. Hill for this bill, and I urge my colleagues to pass this legislation.”
