Madam Speaker, there is perhaps no greater threat to our future than the climate crisis. House Democrats understand the severity of this existential threat and the harm it poses to the American people, our health, our national security, and our economic prosperity. That is why House Democrats have championed comprehensive and sustainable investments in a clean energy future. Our efforts were relentless to secure passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes historic investments in climate action. By investing in smart policies for clean, secure American energy production, this law makes monumental strides in fighting the climate crisis, all while creating millions of good-paying jobs. While congressional Republicans remain occupied with lining the pockets of Big Oil, global corporations that saw record profits while Americans struggled to make ends meet, Democrats remain steadfast in putting people over politics as we continue to work to protect our planet and a strong, prosperous future for working families. ____________________
