Welcome to today’s hearing, called ‘‘The Next Mile: Tech- nology Pathways to Accelerate Sustainability within the Transpor- tation Sector.’’ I want to thank all of our witnesses for joining us here today. We’re obviously discussing a critical topic: How to decarbonize, and make more sustainable, the cars we use every day—the trucks that handle transportation of our manufacturing and other goods all across the country, airplanes, trains, ships. It’s clear that all of this stuff is vital to everyday life, but we have to be smarter about it. In 2017, transportation overtook electricity as the sector of our economy with the highest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions, when it got up to 29 percent, and so finding pathways to reduce these emissions is essential. It’s also crucial that we, as leaders, support jobs and industries at the same time, and I think we can do that. The R&D (research and development) that we’re going to talk about here today will drive the development of these tech- nologies, improve our economy, create new jobs, make us safer, im- prove national security, all while improving the climate. Our labs, universities, business, and research institutions have all worked on these projects for decades. They’ve had great success, but a lot of the transportation landscape has not budged. Henry Ford first sold the Model T just over a century ago, and a lot of the cars, trucks, and buses on our roads, the vast majority of them still use a similar internal combustion engine. Larger vehicles, air- planes, trains, and ships, become even more complicated, so that’s what we’re trying to figure out now, is how can we finally drive some serious change in this area? Scientists have been working hard at it. We’ve seen huge devel- opment in growth of clean electric vehicles (EVs) that can go hun- dreds of miles on a single charge. We’ve seen hydrogen vehicles, we’ve seen hybrid electric, and the demand is continuing to go up and up. In 2018, by our figures, more than 1.7 million plug-in and battery electric vehicles were sold worldwide, which is a 40 percent increase in just 1 year. One point seven million in 2018 alone, so this is a huge market. The Department of Energy (DOE) is researching other tech- nologies in this sector as well. Bioenergy Technologies Office is working to develop commercially viable biofuels that are compat- ible with the infrastructure that we already have. There’s a variety of feedstocks being talked about waste organic materials, crops grown specifically for this purpose. Some of these fuels, known as drop in fuels, are nearly identical, but they would burn much more cleanly than existing fuels. This means we wouldn’t need to make as many changes as we would with a purely electric system, and we’re going to go full speed down both tracks. The Fuel Cell Technology Office at DOE is also working to de- velop hydrogen fuel cells, and I’ll just put in a plug, there’s a lot of great work being done at a local university for us in Western Pennsylvania, Carnegie-Mellon, and the Scott Institute, on the fu- ture of hydrogen fuel cell technology. All of these things combined will help make our transportation sector more sustainable. Al- though it is incredibly complex, we think that, with enough invest- 11 ment on our part, in partnership with private sector and nonprofit university partners, we can solve this riddle. And I think

As you continue your work to address the public health and economic crisis arising from the COVID-19 epidemic in this country, we stand ready to work with you on policies to help families, workers, and businesses in every one of our communities and across the country. As Democrats that represent many people who work in the oil and natural gas industry and their families, we want to reiterate the important role this industry plays in the American economy, and the tremendous impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on their lives and livelihoods. The oil and natural gas explorers, producers, drilling contractors, transporters, and refiners in our districts are no different than Americans in other struggling businesses across our country. The entire energy industry is facing unprecedented challenges, like so many others throughout our country. The important public health measures taken to combat COVID-19 have caused a massive reduction in consumer demand and a sharp decline in industrial output, here at home and around the world. In March alone, more than 50,000 Americans who work in America’s oil and natural gas sector lost their jobs.

Further, it is vital that we continue to supply the country with energy to meet our critical needs. To help achieve these critical goals, the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Governors Coalition offers its continued support for efforts to increase revenue sharing to support coastal states responsible for energy production on the OCS. The Coalition urges you to consider the impacted coastal resources in these states and to include these needs in additional stimulus legislative relief and recovery packages.

    North Houston Highway Improvement Project/I-45 Expansion Independence Heights Advocacy Strategy Photo Credit: Houston Chronicle Preserve Neighborhood History and Heritage of Independence Heights Concern. As the first city incorporated by African Americans in the state of Texas, Independence Heights is a place of heritage and culture. By building over historic land in favor of expanding highway infrastructure, the proposed North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP) sacrifices American history. Lower Independence Heights, recognized by the federal government in the National Registered Historic District for its significance in U.S. history, should be protected and preserved under the requirement of the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. Preservation efforts should also extend to cultural sites, such as the Greater Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church. Located along I-610 North Loop in the Southeast corner of Independence Heights, Greater Mount Olive has been a part of the community for over 100 years and provides a community gathering space, assists homeless children in local schools, and even served as a disaster recovery center following Hurricane Harvey. Severely damaged during Hurricane Ike in 2008, the church was finally rebuilt in 2016.
