Senators will travel to Boston this week to get perspectives on renewable energy and the economy.
The Small Business Committee will hold a Friday hearing titled “Small Businesses Powering the Clean Energy Economy.”
The hearing is being convened by the ranking member of the committee, Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), a long-time climate hawk. It’s part of a week of activities from Markey to highlight the impacts of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
In a release, panel Democrats said the hearing will “examine the role that small businesses play in the clean energy economy and the importance of continuing federal investments that support sustainable investments, climate tech, and our clean energy transition.”
