Lawmakers lay out arguments for boosting clean energy through infrastructure
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle said Wednesday that Congress needs to take steps to bolster developments in the clean energy sector, as infrastructure bills move closer to the finish line on Capitol Hill.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said "we have to be bolder and be more transformative" in order to keep pace with other countries on the energy front.
"There is no question that China in particular, over the last decade, really moved in a bold way," Wyden said at The Hill's "The Road to Zero-Emissions Trucks: Fleets & Shippers" event.

Wyden told The Hill's Steve Clemons that the Finance Committee is aiming to improve the 44 tax incentives currently in place for the energy industry.
