I'd like to reiterate our strong desire to see New Mexico, with our labs and universities, play a key role in the Department of Energy's Mission Innovation Initiative.

What structural or statutory changes are needed to ensure that our current nuclear energy fleet remains a part of the U.S.'s carbon-free energy grid?

I believe it's important for the Department of Energy to prepare a lifecycle cost estimate cleanup at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

I am very concerned about President-elect Trump's statements about withdrawing from the Paris agreement.

We're eager to see that the Waste Isolation Plant be reopened, and that be done with worker and community safety as a top priority.

Today, 20 percent of the U.S. electricity, and as the Chairman said, 63.3 percent of our carbon-free electricity is produced by approximately 100 light water nuclear reactors.

I want to ensure that inspections by the Mine Safety and Health Administration will continue at WIPP at least four times per year, as required by law.

But the expertise that you have directly reflects on this question.

I strongly believe that New Mexico can bring together cutting-edge industries, university researchers, local and State governments, and national energy labs to address regional and national energy challenges.

Thank you, Secretary Moniz, for being here, and for your excellent testimony on all ends of the nuclear issue.

I would like to see this Buy Indian Act be stronger.

Will your state volunteer for such testing? New Mexico has been a site for testing.
