Energy secretary ernest moniz talked before a house energy subcommittee. Also discussed the impact Climate Change has on Energy Security, as well as the aging u. S. Energy grid and the areas that should be prioritized. This runs two hours. This hearing will finally come to order. Obviously, four votes and members going home have put time crunch on this committee. I want every member to know whether youre republican or democrat, ten terms or first term, youll have a chance to ask our witness your questions. But that means ill be very aggressive with the gavel to ensure you stick to the fiveminute limit. And heres my example. Im giving myself five minutes for an Opening Statement. America is back. We are an energy superpower. That statement would have sounded odd a handful of years ago, and laughable in the 1970s. But the fact is, we are awash in energy. Today, we are the worlds leading producer of oil and gas, and were less reliant upon foreign sources of energy. Our resources are plent
Proponents argue this deadline is necessary to ensure timely consideration by d. O. E. , but given the departments track record, i find this arbitrary deadline to be completely unnecessary. In fact it could be detrimental to the ultimate approval of an export application. In light of recent events related to the jordan cove application in oregon, do you believe it makes sense to force d. O. E. To hastily make a decision on an application based on the final eis . We have consistently said we see no need for this. By performance. And as youve said, i think very correctly, there can be unintended consequences. The jordan cove, when that was rejected by ferc for nonenvironmental reasons, would have caused a problem with the bills as proposed. So, you know, we really should be having records of decision by ferc in this case or marad for an offshore facility because that is the complete set of information that informs our final judgment. I want to ask you about Climate Change and note that C
It needs to be. This issue were working on data, working on technology, and working on the systems issues are all critical. International partners are excited about working with us on, this and israel, which is so far advanced in these technologies is one that we are building up a stronger collaboration on. Can you talk about the Energy Storage at the department . The Energy Storage program is one that we have expanded. A lot of congressional interest in that support, which we appreciate, so we are working we have a battery hub, which is doing extremely well. It is centered at argon. Berkeley is the major partner. We recently put out maybe a month ago a report on hydro and pointed out in terms of storage we still have a lot of capacity for pump hydro in the country, which today is the most costeffective in the places where you can do it. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Yield back. The chair recognizes the gentleman from ohio for five minutes. I thank the chairman very much, and mr. Secretary,

So affordable that low prices have become a common complaint back home in houston, texas. Except from my daughter in college who now has m
Va to fill its ranks with qualified medical staff while attempting to confiscate compensate for income disparity. We take a moment to recognize the nonmonetary benefits. Set schedules, defined hours and protection from network claims. No one have the witness table is here because we were offered maximum earning potential. While money will be helpful, the best people to serve veterans are the ones motivated by an internal code and defense. We should not make that our primary recruitment tool. The attempt to clear the claims backlog has grown to aa fever pitch and the backlog has grown to unprecedented levels ensuring of the court remain fully staffed could not be more important than today the time to ensure veterans are not suffering needlessly is now. A little over one year from now the American Legion will host an inaugural ball honoring the 70th living recipients and the hundreds of euros no longer with us. One the highest award.
