                                                         U.S. SENATE,
                       SUBCOMMITTEE  OF THE COMMITTEE  ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                             Washington, DC.

                  Senate Office Building, Hon. Dianne Feinstein (chairwoman) pre-

                                   DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
                                   OFFICE  OF THE SECRETARY

                  STATEMENT  OF HON. JENNIFER GRANHOLM,  SECRETARY
                         OPENING STATEMENT  OF SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN
                    Senator FEINSTEIN. I think we will get started. Senator Kennedy
                  is on his way, but has sent signal that this is what we should do.
                  So we will do it.
                    And the Subcommittee on Energy and Water will please come to
                  order.
                    Today's hearing is going to review the fiscal year 2023 budget re-
                  quest for the Department of Energy.
                    Thank  you, Secretary Granholm for joining us today. I am par-
                  ticularly pleased to see you again and back this year. A lot has
                  happened since we last saw you, including historic funding for the
                  Department through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and our re-
                  cent fiscal year 2022 spending bill. I know that implementing this
                  funding has been keeping the Department busy.
                    The  administration's fiscal year 2023 request for the Depart-
                  ment, totals $48.6 billion, representing more than $3.7 billion in-
                  crease from last year, and that is billion, not million. As I under-
                  stand this, most of this proposal increase is aimed at reducing our
                  fossil fuel consumption, and addressing climate change.
                    Your budget includes funding for research and development, of
                  renewable  energy, batteries, electric vehicles, and also dem-
                  onstrates these technologies at a scale that would reduce emissions.
                  These investments, I believe, are important as we continue to re-
                  duce our dependence  on fossil fuels for heating our homes and
                  powering our cars.
                                               (1)
