Reducing these emissions and finding technology solutions to these realities is a very pressing challenge.

In closing, I would like to strongly encourage all of my colleagues on the committee to consider cosponsoring H.R. 5745.

The critical work authorized in this bill is supported by a diverse array of stakeholders.

Fossil fuels currently account for about 60 percent of our electricity generation in the United States.

The current Administration has strongly opposed practically any regulating of greenhouse gases.

As digital technologies revolutionize the energy sector, we also must ensure the safe and responsible use of these processes.

Thank you, Chairman Weber. Thank you, Chairwoman Comstock, and also, thank you to the distinguished panel for being here this morning.

It would wreak havoc on our energy markets and create a number of misaligned incentives.

The Trump Administration is inventing emergencies to bail out coal and nuclear plants while ignoring the real problems.

This proposal has been roundly criticized by a wide range of trusted independent experts, including Wall Street Journal editorial page, as poorly justified and legally dubious.

I think that anyone can answer this. And I wanted to know, do you think that we should be looking at bolstering the military and State Department when it comes to dealing with this issue?

I hope that means that we'll finally have Secretary Rick Perry, our former Governor of Texas, in this room shortly after the President's 2019 budget is released.

I'm very concerned, as are many, about the Department's proposed budget for 2018.

I appreciate my colleague, my fellow Texan, for her eloquence in laying out the issues with the Republican tax plan. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Evans), my friend and colleague, for being here. I thank the…

I thank Mr. Payne very much for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my colleague from the city of Houston, Harris County, our country's fourth largest city, Sheila Jackson Lee. I thank Representative Jackson Lee for always participating…

We want to make sure the American Dream doesn't become the American nightmare while people are trying to figure out how they are going to make their house payment and pay for their house.

We must face the global challenge of climate change, and solving this challenge requires every nation to find effective solutions to reduce our emissions.

Geoengineering, in particular, is in its very early stages and more research is required to expand our understanding of its risks and potential benefits.

Despite the numerous claims, geoengineering is not the answer to 150 years of polluting our planet at an unsustainable rate.

I thank my colleague from the 18th Congressional District for her comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Payne), my friend and classmate who represents the 10th Congressional District.

I thank the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn) very much for his timely and very serious comments. I hope that all of the Members who are here on both sides of the aisle realize the seriousness of the comments. There is nothing…

We know that obviously whatever country is able to capitalize on this, the gains are going to be huge.

I wanted to know if all of you could expand more on the impact of the cuts, because I think that that is important, particularly again as it relates to competition.

I wanted to just kind of piggyback a little bit on Mr. Lipinski's questions earlier revolving around international competition.

Quantum technologies have the potential to solve problems that were previously out of reach and push scientific discovery to new levels.
