The Biden administration has set aggressive but necessary emission reduction targets...

We have subsidized the fossil fuel industry for decades upon decades in this country on our public lands...

It is a good piece of legislation. I am proud to be co-sponsoring it.

Congress has worked with the Biden administration to achieve major policy victories and invest in clean energy.

We must achieve 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035, and the entire U.S. economy needs to reach net-zero emissions by midcentury.

To stave off the worst impacts of climate change, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by at least half by 2030.

Our public lands and oceans can and must be a solution to climate change.

The climate crisis is here, and it poses an existential threat to American life as we know it now.

I believe the only response to this is to make sure that the fleet is big enough and flexible enough to meet congressional requirements.

Losing control over critical global supply chain can be dangerous.

The Biden administration has set goals for the United States to reduce greenhouse emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions no later than 2050.

I personally remain cautiously optimistic, but I also still believe that transitioning away from fossil fuel is the most effective strategy for saving the planet for our children and for our grandchildren.

The Biden administration has set goals for the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and to reach net-zero emissions no later than 2050.

There were applications for over $1.3 billion in Federal funds, while we only gave out a total of $239 million.

I want to lend my support to the strongest possible funding for programs like the Port Infrastructure Development Program.

The program is oversubscribed by a factor of 5.4 to 1.

I would like to emphasize how important a quick resolution of this process and a timely report will be to my constituents.

From NTSB's standpoint, lives are priceless. And all lives--we should do everything we can to save lives and to prevent tragedy.
