Whatever the future holds, and for the energy realities of today, we must act now to make sure workers in rural America and across Indian country have every tool to compete and thrive in the new economy.

This decision today has real implications for real people and real families, and I want to make sure we know that it just isn't theoretical.

I hope this hearing is the first of many actions we as a committee take, and a key priority of mine, supporting economic opportunity across rural America and Indian country.

We are doing a pretty darn good job in the State of Iowa when it comes to renewable energy.
