  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

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.
