Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to recognize Kern Energy on their 90-year anniversary and to thank them for their significant contributions to the Central Valley. Kern Energy, established in 1934, is an independent, family-owned and operated transportation fuel producer in the Southern San Joaquin Valley. For nine decades, Kern Energy has been critical to the success of Central Valley agriculture, providing the region with the fuel necessary to help transport goods across California and the Nation. To date, Kern Energy has produced over 58 million gallons of renewable diesel and blended over 74 million gallons of biodiesel into its finished fuels. Throughout their history, Kern Energy has been a leader of energy innovation, consistently overcoming California's operational challenges. Kern Energy is dedicated to advancing cleaner transportation fuels by investing in innovative solutions for future generations. The company's unwavering commitment to meeting the ever-changing energy needs of California has guided their mission for nearly a century. Kern Energy has adopted the motto of ``small but mighty'' to reflect their significant impact on the community. Kern Energy has been a steadfast partner to the Central Valley and California, supporting the growth and progress of the region. It is because of the hard work of Kern Energy and their employees that Valley families, small businesses, and producers have the fuel they need to thrive.

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in celebrating Kern Energy on their 90-year anniversary. Their work to provide the Central Valley with reliable, clean energy will be felt for generations to come. I wish them continued success in the future.
