                          SUPPORT CLEAN ENERGY

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, as part of National Clean 
Energy Week, I am grateful for clean energy and its advances in South 
Carolina.
  The success of President Donald Trump has been the achievement of 
energy independence for America.
  South Carolina is home to seven nuclear power reactors that produce 
95 percent of the State's emission-free electricity. In addition, 
nuclear energy facilities in South Carolina employ over 2,800 South 
Carolinians. Nuclear energy is a reliable source, providing over half 
of the State's electricity.
  Solar energy is also a reliable form of clean energy. Currently, 
there is enough solar installed in South Carolina to power over 90,000 
homes.
  I have been impressed by visiting Cypress Creek Renewables, a solar 
farm in Gaston-Swansea, Lexington County, welcomed by Wannelle 
Lefkowitz; NARENCO solar farm in Orangeburg County, welcomed by Michael 
Cox; and Green Energy Biofuel in Aiken County, reprocessing cooking 
oil, welcomed by Joe Renwick; along with Ameresco, clearing woody 
debris at the Savannah River Site.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
