This week, my Energy and Commerce Committee Consumer Protection Subcommittee entitled "Promises and Perils: The Potential of Automobile Technologies." Electric vehicles are an important component of America’s clean energy future, and we are working to ensure that our federal government is prioritizing good-paying jobs and manufacturing here at home. The American Jobs Plan, a historic infrastructure plan introduced by President Biden, will invest in vehicle electrification to boost domestic manufacturing, expand good-paying jobs and increase American competitiveness. These are the forward-looking policies that will help us move our nation and workforce forward.
Yesterday, my Energy Subcommittee heard from Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on the Biden Administration’s goals to create jobs through clean energy projects, advance solutions for solving the climate crisis and create good-paying jobs for our neighbors in Tampa and across the nation.
