Opinion: Hog Organic Waste Project a Lesson in Clean Energy
Last week, the Energy and Commerce Committee hosted an Energy and Environment Innovation Showcase in Washington, D.C. Its purpose was to highlight companies and organizations from across the United States that are using innovative technologies to address climate change and strengthen our energy security.
It showcased how supporting research and technologically driven policy can achieve significant results in addressing climate change. As a member of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change, I recognize the importance of providing reliable, yet affordable, energy sources that are not detrimental to the environment — a view shared by both Democrats and Republicans. We will continue to work together to develop pragmatic solutions and realistic goals, which is a balance that was highlighted in the showcase.
