Energy Appropriator Asks Argonne to Help Boeing Resolve Dreamliner

Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA), a Senior Democratic Appropriator on the Energy and Water Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, is calling on the Argonne National Laboratory to provide its expertise to the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing to help resolve mechanical problems that have forced FAA officials to ground Boeing's 787 Dreamliner fleet. In a letter to Argonne Director, Eric Isaacs, Fattah asks the Illinois based national laboratory - a leader in lithium battery technology - to lend its expert knowledge to Boeing as the company works with the FAA to address the technical problems related to the Dreamliner's lithium battery leakage.Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA), a Senior Democratic Appropriator on the Energy and Water Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, is calling on the Argonne National Laboratory to provide its expertise to the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing to help resolve mechanical problems that have forced FAA officials to ground Boeing's 787 Dreamliner fleet.
