WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representatives Zoe Lofgren and Eric Swalwell tonight applauded President Biden's State of the Union address, that they said"focused on continuing to build a strong middle class, ending pervasive injustices, harnessing Americans' innovative spirit, and acting to curb climate change."

Both women were involved in December's scientific breakthrough, when NIF achieved fusion ignition for the first time in human history.
"Tonight, President Biden outlined the historic progress our country has made over the past two years - from record breaking job growth to delivering on the most consequential climate action in history - and presented an agenda to build upon that progress," said Rep. Eric Swalwell."I commend the President for continuing to champion affordable, quality health care, initiatives to curb gun violence, and strategies to secure a clean energy future.
"The Biden administration's Bold Decadal Vision for Commercial Fusion Energy sets a coordinated effort by the U.S. government to fund, implement, and empower commercial fusion to unleash a new industry centered in America that addresses clean energy and energy security challenges," said Dr. Tammy Ma, Lead for the LLNL Inertial Fusion Energy Initiative. "We sit at a very exciting time in history, and I was honored to represent the fusion energy community tonight.
"The DOE national laboratory system exists to drive U.S. innovation and competitiveness and tackle the most difficult scientific challenges facing our nation and the world," said LLNL Director, Dr. Kim Budil."Sustained, long-term public investment in science and technology enables U.S. leadership in national security, clean energy, and other key areas mentioned tonight.
