Mike Doyle: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

Losing over 95,000 Americans to overdoses in 2020 is an unacceptable number. And we need to work fast to reverse this deadly trend.

As we continue to decarbonize the electric grid, I hope FERC will continue to be proactive and flexible in its approach to building out a grid with more distributed resources and in recognizing the benefits of innovative technologies.

It is our responsibility on this Subcommittee to highlight, as we have in so many hearings, the issues important to the people we represent.

I want to commend my colleague, Congresswoman Fletcher, for her work in developing legislation that embodies this principle.
