Representative Adriano Espaillat Statement on Appropriations Committee Fiscal Year 2023 Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies Funding Bill.
Legislation lowers costs for working families, creates good-paying jobs, invests in clean energy, and rebuilds water infrastructure
WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) issued the following statement during yesterday’s House Appropriations Committee markup to approve the fiscal year 2023 Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies bill:
“I rise in strong support of this year’s energy and water federal funding bill. As the nation grapples with soaring gasoline prices, it is critical that we not only lower energy costs for American families but enact policies to protect them from high energy prices in the future. This bill does just that by increasing our investment in clean and renewable energy efforts. And for the first time ever, this bill includes $100 million for the Defense Production Act Domestic Clean Energy Accelerator, a new program at the Department of Energy meant to fund domestic manufacturing of renewable energy technologies.
“The measures set out in this funding bill make clear that Congress is prioritizing clean energy, affordable and sustainable housing, and clean water—especially in disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution.
