Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the eighth annual National Clean Energy Week. As chair of the Conservative Climate Caucus and a Representative of Iowa, where 59 percent of our net energy generation comes from wind turbines, I am proud to highlight our State's leadership in harnessing renewable energy, and wind isn't the only type of renewable energy we have. We show how emissions can responsibly be reduced without sacrificing reliable energy production by tapping into our abundant resources, like wind, ethanol, biodiesel, manure, and hydro. Investing in innovation, we have strengthened our energy independence, created good-paying jobs, and kept energy costs low for families and businesses alike. This is what responsible, forward-thinking energy policy looks like, driven by innovation, not government mandates. National Clean Energy Week reminds us that we can secure a cleaner, healthier planet through practical, market-driven solutions that work for our economy, not against us. We must continue to support innovation that grows our economy, meets our energy needs, keeps our energy costs down, and respects the hardworking people that depend on affordable, reliable energy. Cleaner energy, more innovation, and a stronger economy is the path forward. Americans Deserve Better Than Failed Policies”
