Nevertheless, the standards face resistance.

The EPA found that meeting the standards is not only technologically feasible but also cheaper than expected.

EPA and NHTSA found that the average cost increase for a car by 2025 due to the standards will be about $1,200 and that that cost would be offset by an estimated fuel cost savings of about $1,900.

The EPA found that to meet the proposed standards automakers do not have to manufacture and sell large numbers of hybrids and electric vehicles.

The transportation sector accounts for a third of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.

I hear from my constituents that the cost of the drugs that they pay for, that they need, is far too high.

I believe that some of the calculations and some of the prices really do say that many people are not going to be able to access the cures that are available that are shortening their lives.

But we must have a serious conversation about drug prices and we need to do more to address this growing problem.

We truly recognize the president has the authority to eventually nominate and get someone confirmed by the Senate. But we hope that person is qualified as a consumer advocate and is not someone who has attacked the bureau and called it a…

By appointing--by suggesting that the head of the OMB, a deeply political agency of the White House, could also at the same time be the director of the independent Consumer Bureau, we just don't think that computes.

I have a bill called the Secure and Protect America's Data Act that I introduced with Ranking Member Pallone.

The Consumer Bureau, in just 6 years of existence, has recovered over $12 billion--about $12 billion for 29 million Americans and has restored confidence in the financial system.

We would like to see that data.

It is almost cruel to find a cure and then have it priced so high that a patient can't afford it.

Today, algorithms determine what appears in web ads, search results, and your customized news feed.

We like to think of the internet as an open marketplace and forum for the exchange of ideas.

The FTC can't use the typical notice and comment rulemaking process to issue regulations about what personal information platforms can collect from users or how those platforms can use that personal information to determine what content it…

Thank you. You know, it is hard to decide who to really focus on because we only have 5 minutes.

I urge my Republican colleagues to take actions to actually protect consumers instead of talking about protecting consumers while exposing consumers to online mischief.

In the short term I think that we do need strong protection, privacy by default, ideally, for entities where consumers have no choice but to share information.

And do you think it would benefit consumers if the FTC had authority then to issue regulations under the normal notice and comment process?

Even when a platform does violate its own policies, the FTC's remedies are limited.

But I do want to talk about enforcement, and therefore I want to ask Ms. Moy some questions.

In reality, the information that consumers see is determined in part by tech companies.

I actually did some research for today's hearing. I watched a few highlighted videos of UFC fights. They were a little bloody, more bloody than I would like for my taste.
