“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise today in support of H.R. 3593, the Department of Energy Science for the Future Act. As a newly minted member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I was so proud to see my colleagues on both sides of the aisle work so hard on this bill to pass it through committee with amendments from both Democrats and Republicans. I, too, had an opportunity as a newly minted member to make an impact on this important legislation. And I think that it wasn't by accident, and I thank the chairwoman of the committee, Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson and Representative Lucas, the ranking member, for creating the environment in which we could do our work and craft this important legislation. As you all have heard, the Department of Energy's Office of Science is a hub of technological advancement and research designed to tackle our greatest scientific challenges facing the United States. Through several hearings in the committee, we learned about the DOE Office of Science's ongoing efforts to support research and to find solutions. This bill allows the Office of Science to continue carrying out nondefense research on a vast array of critical areas. It supports research to modernize our energy infrastructure, allowing us the tools to overhaul our outdated energy grid to more climate-friendly solutions.…”
