Shelley Moore Capito

Well, it seems to be training, training, training is the aspect that has come very forward in all of your recommendations.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you Ranking Member Blunt too.

I am hoping that President Biden heeds our call to have two more Commissioners nominated, so we can have a full boat in front of us.

From the view of the American public, who I believe believes in an all of the above energy plan for the country.

As you all know, Congress created the DOE's Advanced Reactor Demonstration program to establish public-private partnerships.

It seems this reckless tax and spending spree would increase energy costs on all American families and businesses.

These policies will raise energy costs and undermine baseload electric generation, threatening families and businesses with more frequent and wholly preventable blackouts.

Higher energy prices are driving inflation, and make no mistake, this is a hidden tax on our working families.

Nuclear is the least talked about, but in some ways could be the most powerful dual tool in terms of generating the power.

I am very pleased that that will be indelibly imprinted on the courthouse in Wheeling, West Virginia.

However I appreciate the willingness to serve, I cannot support the other three EPA nominees under consideration.

It needs a lot of help; I can tell you that.

I look forward to supporting Dr. Jennifer Clyburn Reed to lead the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission.

I recognize, as Senator Capito alluded to, that science is just one of the many factors that inform policy decisions.

I have worked to inspire other young women to pursue leadership positions and instill confidence in themselves.

We all intently watched the impacts and aftermaths of Hurricane Ida, both in Louisiana, but also in the Northeast.

I would say that the bill that we passed, the Safe Drinking Water and Wastewater, and then as was incorporated into the BIF, in terms of trying to manage or trying to modernize some of these old storm systems.

The Hurricane Storm Damage Risk Reduction System, known as HSDRRS, for New Orleans authorized by Congress and constructed by the Corps after the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina performed as intended.

I regret that I cannot support the remaining nominee at CSB, Dr. Jennifer Sass.

I also cannot support the nomination of Jeffrey Prieto to serve as General Counsel of the EPA.

Well, I think what we are going to see later this afternoon is a breaking news crawl: Pizza boxes are recyclable.

We see recycling as a win-win solution that presents significant environmental and economic benefits.

I am in support also as a ranking member. Vote on Amendment No. 2358 The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Hearing no further debate, the question is on agreeing to the amendment. The amendment (No. 2358) was agreed to. The ACTING PRESIDENT…
