I support the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. But I am concerned States cannot meet their matching requirement.

But there is a difference between investing wisely and saddling our children with crushing debt.

Water is critical. Thank you.

Could we use the funds that we had from COVID for State and local government since it is used for healthcare on this?

I would like to hear that.

But they are driven locally based on the ability to pay.

How long do you think it would be--what timeframe would be appropriate to make the repairs?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Trump made cleaning up these sites a priority.

There are over 1,100 designated Superfund sites around the country.

If we want schools to be open, shouldn't we be open too?

We are losing as much as 30 percent of the water. Thirty percent of the water that we treated.

Thirty percent is not acceptable. Imagine if we lost 30 percent of our oil and gas in the pipelines, if we leaked that.

Look, I get a kick out of, as a civil engineer--the only licensed civil engineer in Congress--I get a kick out of the fact that our committee and others keep referring to the ASCE report.

We have got to stop this. And according to the American Water Works Association, we are going to need 1.7, almost 2 trillion dollars through 2050 to repair this infrastructure.

Can you guarantee me that the Biden plan will lower global emissions to less than 350 parts per million?

Look, to reduce global CO2, the administration has been calling for zero-carbon emissions from American power plants by 2035.

I think it is a good place for bipartisanship. That is what I am thinking, if we work together.

What can we do? What would you suggest? Is that maybe you and I, we put together something, we----

Trump made cleaning up these sites a priority.

Under Obama his focus was climate change--Superfund sites were neglected.

Unfortunately, there are over 1,100 designated Superfund sites around the country.

If the Senate and other House committees are having hybrid in-person hearings who is directing you not to do the same?

Trump cleaned up the sites at twice the rate, annual rate, 20 per year.

Under Obama, his focus was entirely on climate, and the Superfund sites were neglected.
