a department of energy addresses our nation's most pressing energy, environmental, and nuclear security challenges to transformational science, science, technology, and apply investments throughout our department. if you look across our country, there are over 7 million americans now working in the energy sector. that apartment fun date will drive down the prices of wins, solar, energy storage, and efficient light balls by 60-90% 2008. did you know that the department of energy is trying to decode dna through the human genome project? it has developed the fastest computers in the world, and has discovered 22 new elements of the periodic table. it's busy on many fronts. with new challenges come opportunities. opportunity to achieve progress for our nation to sustain life aired to grow our economy and insured national security through energy independence. trying to address our climate crisis by making energy supplies cleaner and more resilient. opportunity to advance high science and yield innovation to heal our nation to meet new horizons in technology and to keep our nation globally com

it is a privilege to serve as the 16th secretary of energy and lead the department in delivering technological advances in scientific discoveries in advancing the energy, economic, and national security of the united states. i'm glad to say we accomplished a lot since january 20. we have been focusing on our core missions around science and security. our 17 national laboratories continue to make groundbreaking discoveries, including in the fight against covid-19. our teams remain steadfast in safeguarding the electrical grid and our nuclear stockpile, and beyond that, we have jumpstarted our efforts to build a clean energy economy that creates millions of good paying jobs and lifts american families in every pocket of the country into the middle class. we declared that america's back at the international table for climate action. we announced over $1 billion in grants, awards, and funding opportunities for clean energy that will help us achieve inept zero carbon future, set ambitious new goals to cut solar costs by half, and add 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030, the latter of whi

needs but several department of energy's advanced reactor programs support the development of multiple innovative us-based designs for small modular reactors. technology has the potential of course to provide safe and clean and cost-effective energy generation in both domestic and national markets . silverstein singles with the new scale all month. a nuclear approval file scale design accuracy of all new commission by this year, 21. so you have to double down on those are the one nuclear getting the family. >> three. i mentioned michael statements, this is not the time you are all desires. are you are. i maintain a focus on cyber security is in these price is in the say that cyber security will not. >> is a. you. i do what you are thinking. cyber graffiti is another reason why this. power grid as you know is the most complex machines on earth with more than 3000 operators:. the substations, 50,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines so some of the operators of large and are sufficient companies and others are small unio

dollars of research and development each year with government agencies ranging from the nsf to department of energy and department of defense. office science technology policy is charged to coordinate all of this so it's thoughtful and strategic unfortunately sometimes easier agencies get silent in their efforts talk about partnerships i'm delighted to hear you do that because we want to make certain we are making the most of our expenditures and not duplicating or competing in areas where we ought not be. in the attempt to solve the problem of ourci most serious challenges talk about artificial intelligence and quantum computing and advanced manufacturing we want to advance as rapidly as possible we don't want to be in theld position of first in the world but as we do this we know very well that what we are doing as a nation. congress worked on a a bipartisan basis earlier this year to enact the industries of the futures act enacted janut this year. it charge the office science technology policy to provide congress with an assessment and a set of recommendations to relate to our investments of res

always a pleasure the department of energy recently announced an ambitious goal of the cost of solar energy reduced within the next ten years what programs and initiative does the department plan to use to meet to the goal and what can congress do to help you support that? may thank you for asking. they we are announcing this yet again and we do have a great plan i am proud of how we will keep that price of solar coming down. as you noted we are being aggressive and we are committing assistance to go through a comprehensive plan from the raw materials to the point the solar panel delivers electrons to your house then to be reduced by 60 percent to continue the r&d to have lower cost and higher technology just this past march we announced more funding for that effort and it also includes what people don't even think about like cross permitting has cheap has solar has gotten to in the united states and other countries so is one example they partner with this online permitting tool to expand rooftop solar permitting instantly rather than waiting for months that we will launch an app to c

each year we have government agencies that range from the national science foundation to the department of energy in the department of defense and science technology policy start with this effort so it's strategic. unfortunately so many times we get silo than our efforts. talk about partnership. i want to make sure we are making the most of our research and development and not duplicating or competing in areas where we ought not to be. in attempt to solve the problems over nations it's a serious challenge any talk about artificial intelligence any talk about quantum computing. we want to advance as rapidly as possible and we don't want to be left in any other position than first in the world. i want to make certain as to do this we know very well what we are doing as a nation. earlier last year for the buena vista congress work on a white partisan basis to an act the industries of the future sacked enacted on january 1 of this year. that charged congress with the assessment instead of recommendations that would relate to our investment in research and development -- on may 1 and is it's going to

the department of energy recently announced an ambitious and laudable goal of cutting the cost of solar energy by 60% within the next 10 years. what programs and initiatives will the department use to meet the goal and what can congress do to help support that? >> thank you for asking. the cost of solar has dropped dramatically but we are cutting it yet again by 60% and we have a great plan. i'm proud of how we are going to keep the price of solar coming down and down and down and as you noted, we were really being aggressive about it set to help us get there we are committing funding and assistance to support that goal, a comprehensive plan, every bit of the process from the raw materials to the point solar panels delivering electrons to your house, it includes this plan to reduce by 60% in continuing the front end r and d to develop lower cost, higher performing solar technology like we announced more funding for that effort and it includes things people don't think about like the cost of permitting, those soft costs are big part of why it is so much more expensive to install in the u

and some of those, b b for example, energy technologies, clearly, partnership with the department of energy and value in doing that. >> i want to come back to that t question. but i'm out of time. and so let me go to senator haggerty then i'll come back in the next round. >> chairman shaheen, thank you very much for hosting us today. director, thank you for being ei here. this is a critical area for us.n the united states spends billions upon billions of dollars on research and development. we do g each year with governme agencies that range like yours y at the science agency and department of defense. office of science technology policys is charged with coordinating all of this. this effort so it's thoughtful and strategic. but unfortunately so many times we see our agencies get siloed in efforts.o you talk about mak partnerships i'm delighted to hear you doing that pause we want to make the most and not duplicating or competing in areas where we ought not be. in an an attempt to solve the ag problems some of our nations nc most seriouse any challenges, w you talk about artificial po

as my colleagues have stated, the department of energy is the sector-specific agency for cybersecurity for the energy sector. this requires the department of energy to coordinate with homeland security and other relevant federal agencies as they ought to. i just came back from a press conference supporting israel, and i mentioned the fact that they have a cyber czar that touches every area of israeli life, their functions, their government, their military, their energy. and so i think it's important for us to learn from that, as we have, but also do things that are necessary for the united states. so let me ask, because chairman rush and i have a bill together, a bipartisan bill, the emergency leadership act, which would codify the functions of d.o.e.'s office of cybersecurity, energy security and emergency response. do you support, madam secretary, elevating the leadership of d.o.e.'s emergency response and cybersecurity functions to the senate confirmed assistance at the secretary level? >> we're looking at that, and we are, as i mentioned earlier, re-organizing to elevate that and i

we learned of the shutdown the white house convened an interagency team that included the department of energyor incident response in this case, the department of homeland security cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, or cisa, the fbi, the department of transportation of pipeline safety and hazardous materials safety administration, the department of the treasury, the department of defense and other agencies. to give you scenes of what we've been doing together since that first meeting we have met throughout the weekend. the department of energy's information -- energy information agency, or eia, is in contact with state and local agencies. to assess current supply and impacts due to the shutdown. doe has also convened the oil and natural gas and electric sector utility partners to share details about the attack, and to mitigate further incidents across the country. dhs's cisa is preparing a release to the community to ensure it has visibility into the ransomware attack and taking appropriate measures to protect its networks. colonial is responsible for safely returning the pipeli

after we learned of the shutdown the white house convene an interagency team that include the department of energy which is the lead agency for incident response in this case. cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, the fbi department of transportation and hazardous material safety administration. the department of the treasury, department of defense and other agencies. to give you a sense of what we have been doing together since that first meeting we met throughout the weekend. the department of energy information agency or eia is in contact with state and local emergencies to assess current supply and impact due to the shutdown. doe has also convene the oil and natural gas and electric partners to share details about the rancho mark attack and discuss recommended measures to mitigate further incidents across the industry. dhs has to bring relief to go to the broader infrastructure community to ensure it has visibility to the ransom or attack and is taking appropriate measures to protect its networks. colonial is responsible for safely returning pipelines of service on a roll of the fe

department of energy. adam secretary, i for one am excited about your hearing and every one of you i want to thank you for today. we look forward to hearing your testimony and madam secretary, you are now recognized for five minutes for the purposes of an opening statement. >> thank you, chairman rush. thank you to ranking member upton and chairman colÓn and conger's men mcinerney and ranking member mcmorris rodgers and members of the subcommittee, it's an honor to be here as the nation's 16th secretary of energy to discuss the president's 2022 discretionary budget for the department. my vision for the department's relay to drive forward research and development and deployment of cutting-edge science and technology in order to advance america's energy security, economic security and critical national security and i'm very proud to say that we've accomplished a lot since januar, if i could with just a minute and what unfolded last week and as you all are aware this ransom or attack happened on may 7 and it l

senator sullivan's estate is well the national science foundation should be working with the department of energy and other and departments to work on mining energy to make sure the best use of americans rare earth resources is occurring. can you talk about your perspective on this? how do you use your position at t14 to make this a reality? >> rare earth minerals is such an important issue because they are used in so many critical technologies today like lithium ion batteries to semi conductors there is a real supply chain problem because half of cases the major supplier is china. if we lose that supply we are in a bad way. there is a question facing how do we guarantee that supply chain for scores of rare earth minerals 100 percent of the supply comes in china not that we don't have supplies, but we don't have the mining and refining capacity. i would like to see systematic plans to make sure we know how to secure supply chains in ways that are economically robust and safe for the environment. environment - - manufacturers have worked out ways to do this with new kinds of mining and secondary e

i believe that national science foundation should be working with the department of energy and other agencies to advance mining research and the development of related technology to make sure the best use of american rare earth resources is occurring and is advanced now. so could you talk about your perspective on this? how will you use your position at osgp to make this a reality? >> senator, thank you. the rare earth minerals is -- is such an important issue because they're used in so many critical technologies today -- from lithium-ion batteries to semiconductors, and because there are a real supply chain problem because in many cases perhaps half of cases major supply is china. and if we were to ever lose that -- we would be in a bad way. so there's a -- urge to scare for 100% of the supply comes from china it is not that we don't have supplies at some of the minerals here. it is that we don't have the mining and refining capacity for those. so i would like to see systemic plans if confirmed i would like to push for systemic plans to make sure that we know how to secure supply cha

do you believe that we have an innovation ecosystem and that the department of energy is a vital part of it? >> the department of energy and its amazing network of laboratories is a vital part of america's ecosystem of innovation. >> you believe that the department of energy and the nfs -- nsf do come from entry work? >> i do. >> do you agree with the directors that we must make substantial investment in and strengthen the entire u.s. innovation ecosystem including at the department of energy? >> if we are going to compete in years ahead, we need to strengthen all aspects of our innovation ecosystem. this is a very consequential moment for the united states to make sure that we have strong innovation throughout the country, throughout industries. it is critical that we strengthen all of it. that is the only way america will remain the leader in science and technology. >> chair duckworth, this letter recommends congress embrace a broad approach to technology leadership and economic competitiveness by strengthening the entire u.s. innovation ecosystem. i ask the i can be entered into th

it's not specific as to what the department of energy will do for this, but it's safe to say the department of energy's innovation program and arpa-e base itically trying to help us with the next generation of technology but also includes carbon sequestration and nuclear power and a whole translation of various energy sciences. i really believe we'll be working together. i believe d.o.e., n.s.f., our national laboratories, our universities, the collaboration that we heard about in committee will be the kind of growth that comes out of this legislative effort. so many americans at home, i can just -- all i can say is we're making another investment in american know-how, the ability to use our scientific skills to help create the next generation of work and effort. so i too want to thank our staffs. i certainly on my side want to thank our staff director david strickland and melissa porter, richard chamber lane and stacey baird. i too want to thank the senator's staff, john keist and sheri pasco and james mazell because they have been a great team to work with. i want to thank on senator schu

something for the fifth risk, with thunder new production company so who knows, we may see a department of energy bureaucrats becoming heroes on television. >> so garrett, basic premise in your book is that the events of the 2007 -- 2000s led to increased polarization and married divides into two separate political camps with a little overlap and this in turn lead in 2016 to the election of the ultimate disrupter, donald trump. talk about that. >> we certainly have been a divided society since the vietnam era, but i think things really quite sped up and there's a number of factors in there. there's of course the endless wars we have been fight, both in iraq and afghanistan which if you look at trump's followers they tend to be pro military and pro police and a small art above the country provide most of the soldiers, .05% of the country. very small. and those people feel particularly upset about the endless wars. another key factor is the housing bubble and once that finally burst how much that injured so many different people across american society and the housing bubble collapse leads directly

the department of energy is working directly with colonial to get the pipelines back online and operatingt full capacity as quickly and safely as possible. the fbi also is engaged to assess and address this attack. the agencies across the government have acted quickly to mitigate any impact on our fuel supply. over the weekend, at my direction, the department of transportation issued an emergency order to loosen restrictions on truck drivers to allow more fuel to be transported by tanker. we are prepared to take additional steps depending on how quickly the company is able to bring its pipeline back to full operational capacity. the federal bureau of investigation has determined colonial's network was infected by ransomware and is a criminal act, obviously. the fbi released details of the attack so others can take steps to prevent being infected. my administration takes issue -- takes this very seriously. we have efforts underway with the fbi and department of justice to disrupt them and prosecute ransomware criminals. my administration will be pursuing a global effort of ransomware attac

federal investigators are on the case and the white house is watching the situation closely department of energy is working directly with colonial to get the plate ones back on line operating at full capacity as quickly as safely as possible meanwhile storage tanks in texas a full to the brim trucks have been order to make emergency deliveries but they can only carry a fraction of what the pipeline delivers energy analysts are concerned. will run out of storage if the if the pipeline stays closer the price of oil here in texas could drop because of this oversupply right at the same time storage tanks in the northeast at the other end of the pipeline are being drawn down and if if that imbalance continues if we have the supply rise in texas in this drop in your new jersey new york etc prices they're going to go way up they're going to shool sure it is prices here are going to go down and we're going to have a supply closet. among the businesses affected american airlines the carrier has directed its honolulu bound flights to take off in north carolina with tanks half empty and fuel up in texas be

we're working very closely with the department of transportation, the department of energy, the environmentaltection agency, all across the government, including the department of defense its logistics agency to bring all of the resources and capabilities to bear to ensure the well being of the american people and those impacted in the regions within colonial pipeline's jurisdiction. >> thank you, senator murkowski. we will take a five-minute break now. a couple items have come up. we'll take a five-minute break and then come back.

part of that will entail the help from the department of energy's national labs. they have super computers who can help the intelligence community sift through mountains of data and intelligence they collected the last year to make sure they haven't missed anything that could allow them closer to the answer of what actually caused this pandemic. the white house also really wants to elevate science. they really want to empower more traditional scientists throughout this 90-day sprint because they recognize how important even open-source information that scientists can analyze can be to getting closer to this answer. our sources tell us actually traditional scientists in the intelligence community, lab coat-type people, were feeling a bit drowned out last year. some who felt like the lab leak was a little more plausible felt drowned out by intelligence that believed based on intercepts or other intelligence gathered that perhaps it's more likely this came from an animal. still no consensus at all by the intelligence community which theory is more likely. and that's i

the white house is bringing together the department of energy along with the fbi, the department of homelandg to help in the so response. chris krebs is a form cybersecurity official with the department of homeland security. thank you, chris, for being with us, break this down for us how serious is this attack? >> i think it goes without question that this is the most disruptive cyberattack on u.s. energy infrastructure in history, you know, when you knock off the pipeline distribution for the entire southeast and really the east coast, it's a significant event. and i think more than anything my hope is that this is that final wakeup call that ransomware is a national security threat and that this administration take strong action against ransomware crews. >> can you explain how a ransomware attack works? >> yes, so this crew darkside, which was just confirmed by the fbi, tends to have two different sets of operators. first is the team that develops the software that ultimately encrypts the networks. then they have what's known as an affiliate group. they partner with a group of hackers that

our own department of energy pioneered and transformed it when brock and i were in office.the recovery act, grants and loans, battery prices dropped 80%. 80%. because we were looking forward. we need that same mindset today. the plan is to look forward. we have to work to support consumers and these fleets, that means new purchasing incentives to buy clean vehicles, a union made product right here in america, all of the pieces must be made in america. that means spurring demand by converging the fleet of vehicles into clean vehicles and supporting electric transit vehicles, school buses. when i got elected i signed an executive order saying we will buy american. as president, i get to order contracts in the realm of 600 billion dollars-$700 billion -- $600 billion-$800 billion. i will not let a single contract for a company that does not hire americans and have american parts and have a supply chain that is an american product supply chain.

of federal investments work. it was the defense department and nasa that got the modern semi-conductor industry on its feet decades ago. we started it. your tax dollars. our own department of energy and transformed the battery industry when barack and i were in office. and through the recovery act grants and loans, battery prices dropped 80%, 80%, because we were looking forward. we need that same mindset today. we have to look forward. and, you know, we have to work to support consumers and these fleets. that means new purchasing incentives for consumers to buy clean vehicles like the electric ford 150, a union-made product, right here in america. but all the pieces must be made in america. it means spurring demand by converting the federal government's enormous fleet of vehicles into clean vehicles and supporting electric transit systems and school buses. folks, when i got elected, i signed an executive order saying we're going to buy american. as president, i get to award contracts in the area of 600 to 700 billion dollars a year, from building aircraft carriers, to railings that go in buildings. guess what? and representative kildee knows. i'm not letting a single contract to

[inaudible]. >> thank you so much chairman for the question. so why the federal investment is important it into the ev infrastructure. and really we feel it is important because of the economists call it a market coordination problem. simply without infrastructure, no one is going to buy a car. and if the cars are available in market is demanding it with the infra structure is not there, and quite simply, no one is going to buy ev. it is going to take a whole host of public funding, the federal government has a significant roll to play in that public private partnership. and really that is the only way the network across the u.s. will get created. it is a function of private capitol federal investment and also importantly state investment. those three kind of prongs to that stool, they are all critical. now how does ev infrastructure get into underserved disadvantage communities. the upfront capitol cost to build the stations particularly when i talked about having the 12 minute chargi

the department of energy is pleading with americans to not panic while colonial works back online. >>> wall street was hammered by fears of rising inflation. they all plummeted more than 2% and the dow closed down more than 680 point, it's worth day since january. the nasdaq was down about 358 and the s&p fell 89 points. coming up, from gas to groceries you may have noticed prices going up. we take a closer look at how inflation will impact what you pay for every day expenses the summer. >>> that cool off sure felt a lot cooler. >>> it stayed cool by the water and temperatures dropped inland and that is a trend that will continue as we head into the next few days and a slow return to near normal temperatures and that helps with the fire threat. that is the story for tomorrow and friday as we wind the clock forward a little bit closer to the weekend we will see some changes with an upper level storm system dropping in from the north and that passed doesn't give it very much time to grab the moisture from the topics and send it toward us will be moisture starved, but there will be enoug

in this case, it puts about $17 billion into the department of energy so that its energy innovation can move forward. so let me talk for a second about this issue about national security and where we are with semiconductors because i expect this will get a bunch of focus next week as we talk about this legislation. the underlying bill has about $52 billion of investment for the semiconductor industry, so i'm pretty sure people think well, wait, this is -- this is a lot of money, but it's a very big sector. it's essential to our defense, it's essential to navigation, it's essential to satellites, it's essential to health care, it's essential to consumer products. and the united states has been a leader in this area. the united states has been a leader in this area for a long time, or i should say was a leader in this area for a long time. when you think of companies like intel or others that are -- even some of the companies that are foreign investors who made huge footprints in the united states, but the point is that we are no longer in this position. we are -- as this chart shows, onl
