I have no further speakers. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It shows that modernizing Puerto Rico's grid is essential for ensuring the health and safety of our fellow Americans on the island.

I thank the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone) for yielding. The Manufacturing.gov Act is a vital piece of legislation that supports American manufacturers, boosting our economy, our job growth, and our global competitiveness. The…

I am particularly alarmed by Ms. Foster's experience in Colorado, where the oil and gas PR firms blocked a popular ballot proposition using tactics described by Ms. Foster as nothing short of harassment, stalking, and fraud.

Constituents in my district care deeply about advancing renewable energy and creating a cleaner and healthier community for all.

I certainly believe the American public deserves to understand the extent that PR firms help oil and gas companies by manipulating public perception and blocking popular efforts.

Through PR firms, the fossil fuel industry is strategically misleading members of all of our constituencies to line their own pockets, stymie climate action, and disrupt the democratic process.

While America remains the leader in international standards development, I believe we must sharpen our competitive edge with sustained investments in R&D.

The future of the U.S. economy and national security will be determined by our global leadership in the microelectronics industry.

Our State has the infrastructure and the expertise to make this a reality.

Clean hydrogen can play an important role in our Nation's clean-energy future.

We must continue to invest in clean hydrogen R&D to continue reducing cost and making it a widely available option.

Congress has invested billions of dollars for R&D and deployment through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

We are in a global economic competition, but for far too long, we have neglected the research, workforce development, and manufacturing needs to ensure America is the world's leader in critical industries of the future. Take, for example…
