Hearing my colleague speak with such passion and such intellect really does give me hope that we have the tools necessary to tackle the climate crisis. But I think we also need to think about climate as a climate opportunity, and there are…

I really appreciate your can-do spirit, because America needs it right now as we bounce back from COVID-19 and really do everything we can to create good-paying jobs, that stronger foundation for families to thrive.

There is a lot of bipartisan support for improving advanced manufacturing, our supply chains, the industrial base.

One of the ways we are going to be able to solve the climate is making sure that our partners in the developing world use American-manufactured technology.

This is a huge opportunity for manufacturing and all of our supply chains.

This piece of an infrastructure plan focused on electric transmission is just going to be critical.

We don't want a C-minus. This is America, and we can do so much better.

investments in transmission would benefit ratepayers across the country, increase reliability, create American jobs, and enable reductions in carbon pollution from the electricity sector.

Investments in transmission would benefit consumers across the country.

This is how we solve the climate crisis, by unleashing American innovation and building the cars of tomorrow in America.

Our efforts here in Congress must focus on solutions to help them, not only in the near term, but also the long term.

A reliable electric grid powers everything we do.

together with the Biden administration, as we bounce back from COVID, we are pressing ahead on jobs in clean energy

We have to do it. As the economy heals and interest rates remain low, this is the perfect time to invest in our workforce, electric vehicles.

I wanted to give a shout-out to our colleague, Peter Welch, who has spent a good bit of his time in Congress fighting for this.

It is really anti-American, isn't it, that we would prohibit anyone from negotiating something in America?

This just doesn't make sense any more, that there is a prohibition on Medicare negotiating prices.

Now that the--with President Biden's election, there is a new emphasis, thankfully, as many of my colleagues have mentioned, on environmental justice.

We just had a devastating toxic stew from an abandoned phosphogypsum stack pour millions of gallons of--it was a very acidic water into Tampa Bay.

It is great to see you putting more--proposing more resources for a clean water revolving loan.

The Environmental Protection Agency is central to the ability of our neighbors to lead healthy lives.

It is important to move Congressman Cardenas' Consumer Protection and Recovery Act right away, and I am proud to be a cosponsor of the bill.

America is ready not only to rejoin the global effort to keep climate impacts in check but lead again.

Just last week, some of America's largest employers--including Walmart, McDonald's, Target, and Starbucks--announced their support for an ambitious new target to reduce our emissions over the next decade.
