James McGovernU.S. Representative, D-MassSmart investments in energy efficiency research are exactly how America can solve the climate crisis. When I wrote to the appropriations committee [in 2019], I told them that cutting-edge ‘smart drying’ work is a tremendous opportunity to create innovative manufacturing processes that reduce energy consumption and lower emissions. Through our advocacy, we were able to assist in securing a $10 million investment, and I’m thrilled that much of this groundbreaking work will be going on at CARD
