Opening Statement
The U.S. transportation sector is a critical part of the U.S. economy. Annually, in the United States, vehicles transport 11 billion tons of freight, equal to $35 billion dollars in goods each day. Last year, almost one third of U.S. energy consumption was used for the transportation of people and goods across the country.

H.R. 4091, the ARPA-E Reauthorization Act of 2019 - Reported Favorably to Full Committee
Sep 11, 2019
Opening Statement
We all know this Committee has one of the best track records in Congress for passing productive, bipartisan legislation. So I have to say, I am surprised and disappointed that we have been unable to reach a consensus on reauthorizing ARPA-E in a truly bipartisan way, especially given that Republicans have proposed a bill that not only includes similar program reforms but also authorizes a responsible spending increase.

Opening Statement
I want to just make a few brief comments on H.R. 4230, the Clean Industrial Technology Act of 2019.
This bill directs DOE, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and other relevant federal agencies and stakeholders to establish a broad, cross-cutting program to develop and commercialize technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from non-power industrial sectors, like manufacturing and material production.
