The House passed bipartisan bill I was proud to cosponsor, the DOE Science for the Future Act, seeks to nearly double that by fiscal year 2026.

If we are serious about a clean energy future with lower power sector emissions, there is no ambition that fits the bill better than fusion.

The potential benefits of a fusion reactor are beyond calculation.

I look forward to hearing from esteemed representatives from these laboratories today.

Nuclear energy is a clean and reliable baseload energy source that is a central component of the U.S. energy portfolio.

This legislation was a landmark achievement for the Science Committee.

I have been, and continue to be, a strong supporter of nuclear energy, and I'm pleased with the Committee's continued bipartisan support for DOE's nuclear energy research and development (R&D) activities.

Robust Federal investment in advanced nuclear energy R&D is essential to our energy independence, our emissions reduction plans, our national security, and our international competitiveness.
