The last three months have been a real challenge for all Americans as COVID has taken its toll.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's good to be back to work in DC with my colleagues.

I want to particularly thank Mr. Phillips and Mr. Roy for working together on this important legislation. When the President signed the Paycheck Protection Program nearly 2 months ago, it provided a real lifeline to our small businesses…

Let's face it: Coronavirus has totally disrupted our lives across the country, in every community and certainly around the globe. To all of us, it is frightening. It is a nightmare. This bill is a partial response to end that disruption…

This legislation is how this place is supposed to work--real substance, forget the politics. We have an emergency. We really do. And I thank the leadership on both sides of the aisle for bringing this bill to the floor so quickly. The…

Unfortunately, I have to confess, my dear friend, the chairman of the committee now was the lead opposition to this.

In Michigan, two of our major utilities have announced goals to reduce carbon emissions by eighty and ninety percent by 2040.

I think the bill we passed in the House was stronger than existing HIPAA requirements.

I commend the Trump administration for their attention to this issue, including how important it is for the United States to increase nuclear fuel production.

Mr. McKinley was big on this as well.

We had instances where there had been loss of life because that information had not been shared.

If we are going to maintain our energy security into the future, we need to invest in our existing nuclear fleet and streamline the deployment in advanced nuclear power.

If we are serious about reducing emissions and paving the way for new advanced technologies, then we must maintain a robust, existing fleet as well as the intellectual, technological, and regulatory infrastructure that supports it.

As Congress considers what policies to pursue to address climate change risks, nuclear technology should be at the center of the discussion.

One of the things that--great joys of serving in the Congress people from different districts and different issues and I will never forget the moment Bobby Rush from Chicago made it clear to me it is more than just opioids.

I would like to think that what we did in this committee and then passed on the House floor will be a direct result of that.

America is now the world's leading producer of natural gas, and we are certainly reaping the benefits.

It seems as though the process is working, and the costs are significantly less.

We have a renewable percentage that we are going to exceed, and it is going to continue to get better.

So, we know that pipelines are indeed the safest, most efficient way to move energy long distances, and they are certainly vital to our nation's economy.

Pipelines are the safest, most efficient way to move energy long distances, and they are vital to our nation's economy.

There is no question that the biggest driver of the recent wildfires is decades of mismanagement of our nation's forests.

The bottom line is that we need to make sure that our utilities and government regulators are taking an all-hazards approach.

It is crazy to think about living in a modern society where one must constantly worry about whether the lights are on.

There are many of us that believe there is no question that the biggest driver of the recent wildfires is decades of mismanagement of our nation's forests.
