"We could double hydropower in America without building a new dam, because only 3 percent of the dams actually produce electricity."

"This lack of action and its impact on our existing hydroelectric facilities is why I continue to advocate for us addressing the relicensing of hydropower in America."

"I commend her for her work and stand committed to working with her in a bipartisan way to implement policies that could reduce these tragedies."
