Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Chairman, grid reliability is an issue that we are facing. Just this last year, we faced a physical attack on a substation in the south bay of the bay area. We are seeing increasing cyber attacks. We also have an opportunity to utilize renewable energy more effectively with grid responsiveness with the new technology that allows rapid switching. In other words, this could help transform our country to a more modern, a more reliable, more efficient, and a more economic grid system. So I think the money would be well spent. I urge my colleagues to support the McNerney-Ellmers amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.
