                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. RENACCI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Babcock & 
Wilcox, a power generation company which employs hundreds of Ohioans in 
Ohio's 16th District. B&W celebrates its 150th Anniversary on June 22, 
2017, and since its founding, it has become a global leader in energy 
and environmental technologies, as well as services for power and 
industrial markets.
   In its 150 years, B&W produced a number of historic firsts. It 
supplied energy for the first electric street lights. It powered New 
York's first subway. It built components for the USS Nautilus, the 
world's first nuclear-powered sub. It also pioneered emissions control 
technologies that allowed utilities to comply with the Clean Air Act.
   As B&W celebrates 150 years in business, I would like to 
congratulate them on their storied achievements and wish them success 
in their next 150.
