This is not about whether we need either private voluntary reductions or government measures. This is an all-hands-on-deck situation.

Federal policies and programs that support this transition will be bolstering an industry with real momentum and providing a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.

durable climate policy must be made by Congress.

Communities with strong transit, walking, and bike access to jobs and services produce lower greenhouse gas emissions.

How this is a responsible use of their tax dollars; or What is so unique about the EV sector that fosters the unfounded belief that central planning will work this time when every previous attempt has failed?

Thank you for accepting my testimony to the committee on 'The Business Case for Climate Solutions.'

I look forward to the testimony of each of the witnesses today.

We believe that rates determined by commissions are really what are going to help the issue of affordability.

I said, 'well, you have got to change that, or we are going to continue to lose market share.'

Dear Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves

Today's hearing marks an important step on the path to a more sustainable transportation future.

the investments and overarching focus on reducing emissions through H.R. 2 are exactly the bold steps that climate change and the opportunity for jobs and new industries demand.

I think this is possible with good Government policy.

I have looked into hydrogen. We have got a number of very difficult problems.

So, I believe it to be a responsible use of tax dollars.

Failure to protect assets and to invest in emissions reductions will have real financial consequences to businesses and transportation agencies both now and in the long run.

We are still living off the legacy of President Eisenhower to the detriment of our safety, our economy, our communities, and our environment. It is time to get out of the 1950s and move forward on a transformational infrastructure bill…

I have raised that issue about the fact we can't give an adjustment for our income tax, and they have the VAT.

Our business organizations urge your committee to update the federal transportation program to measure success by access to destinations--not vehicle speed.

Electrifying transportation is critical to helping the United States compete for investment, advance technological innovation, grow our economy and address climate change.

This is timely and of tremendous importance: examining how we can move people and freight more efficiently, without congestion.

Rail benefits all of us--urban and rural, rich and poor, Republican and Democratic--by contributing to a more robust economy with fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

According to Amtrak statistics, traveling on the electrified Northeast Corridor system emits 83 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than driving.

you only need to talk to Chairman DeFazio, who for years made it his personal mission to put together the millions of Federal, State, and local dollars needed to save the Coos Bay line.

People are sick and tired of spending an hour and a half to drive 20 miles to get home from work.
