The CLEAN Future Act would reauthorize the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program for 10 years.

I will soon be introducing legislation to create a year-long competitive grant program available to established state broadband offices.

Broadband access is a critical issue in my district, and in Washington State.

I am proud to say that I come from Washington State, a leader in carbon-free electricity and conservation.

We can't count on the free market alone to get broadband to rural areas.

I am delighted to introduce Vickie Robinson, the General Manager of Microsoft's Global Airband Initiative.

This would include rehabilitating dams to improve safety and resiliency.

Improvements in this loop are critical for trade, emergency services, and fire safety.

Shipping has become really unpredictable, delayed, more expensive, and perilous, especially for perishable goods like the apples and cherries coming from my district.

First, in Washington State we are a leader in clean energy production, and have made investments in hydro, wind, and solar power.

Only 3 percent of dams, though, have actually produced hydropower in America, and we could double that production without building a single new dam.
