It does seem that there is a reallocation issue that I would prefer had gone a different direction.

My legislation, the RANCH Act, would effectively double this contribution without raising grazing fees or the deficit.

why is the Forest Service prioritizing electric vehicles over public safety and fighting forest fires and allowing first responders access to the area?

We are hoping that the agency could use its Good Neighbor Authority to allow states to help complete needed permitting reviews themselves, do it themselves without having to go further.

Thanks so much, Madam Chairman.

Wyoming is the only state located on or west of the Rocky Mountains that has not received funding under this strategy--the only state--of all of those.

Well, I won't want to make it be a trend that we are willing to give up on fuel reduction and watershed health.

Much like other western states, Wyoming is highly vulnerable to wildfires.

You know, you look at this and say, why is the Forest Service prioritizing electric vehicles over public safety and fighting forest fires and allowing first responders access to the area?

Do you believe that a reliance on China for critical components of clean energy technology presents, say, an increased cybersecurity risk to the grid and to American families?

long-term integrity and cybersecurity of our critical energy infrastructure is going to depend on effective public-private partnerships.

Do you believe that a reliance on China for critical components of clean energy technology presents, say, an increased cybersecurity risk to the grid and to American families?

It is the Chinese government, though, that poses the greatest long-term cyber threat to America's critical energy infrastructure.

Well, I wish you would take that message back to the White House.
