We lose a football field of land approximately every hour, a football field every hour.

I ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a document developed by CIRES, UC-Boulder, titled 'Accounting for Ozone.'

I want to throw out a few things. Number one, I was reading a report a while back that talked about how, for battery storage technology, it takes 50 to 100 pounds of mining rare and critical materials, oftentimes from China, to produce one…

Our communities, both in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes voted to tax themselves to begin building the system.

I want to thank the gentleman from Ohio, our ranking member of the subcommittee, for all of his work on this. I want to thank Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney from New York, our chairman; Chairman DeFazio and the ranking member of the full…

We cannot allow for this slow and expensive process to continue to thwart our efforts to become the more resilient Nation that we should be.

We have allowed for this process to just sit there and morph into this complete--just stagnant process that is victimizing the very people that we are representing.

We are not taking the steps and the policies. We are accepting mediocracy.

The levee system actually stabilizes the ecosystem that is protected behind it.

The Morganza to the Gulf levee protection project is an investment that the citizens of my community have made to build resiliency to the climate crisis.

It is imperative that our coastal communities complete this levee protection project, designed when completed to a height of 18 feet.

This is so stupid what we are doing.

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for hosting this event tonight. Madam Speaker, this is really important because it impacts every single American. Energy is one of those pervasive issues that, if you drive a car, if you ride in a…

I don't think that is accurate. And I am very anxious to hear from the FAA on actually that certification process.

It doesn't matter if we get to 99.9 percent improvements. If there is one life, if there is one injury, we need to keep striving to make sure that we get to perfection.

I want to express my condolences, on behalf of everyone here today, to the witnesses, families, and friends of those lost in the two Boeing 737 MAX accidents.

Any process to unground this aircraft, as far as I am concerned, will not be allowed to resemble the process that was allowed for these accidents to occur.

Your all's strength and power has been absolutely amazing through this.

We are going to take every lesson learned, no matter how painful, no matter the change that it requires.
