None of us do. The way that Paris was structured was to have voluntary, non-binding commitments to create a framework for all of us to try to build to something more permanent.

we need to show that we have actions to match our words, and we have failed at that for 40 years.

We have shown with U.S. leadership that we can create a cap-and-trade model to monetize the reduction.

let's not be constrained by our ambition. Let's get it done.

Every time we build a zero-carbon energy asset, we build a plant that does not require fossil fuel to run, and it has driven down the cost of energy.

As you mentioned, we have NERC, we have FERC to cover the reliability. They do an excellent job, and I trust them.

we have to push to electrify everything as quick as we can, or as much as we can to decarbonize.

that will require a rate of decarbonization and deployment of renewables beyond anything we have ever achieved.

our job today is not to justify delay or make excuses for inaction.

Let's at least be more ambitious than Ontario.

This is a problem that's driven from the top, and I would submit to you that it's been deliberately imposed by Postmaster Louis DeJoy to weaken and ultimately privatize the post office.

Last year I had to organize a town hall after an Asian-American constituent of mine was attacked and beaten on the run by people who felt empowered by the fact that the President of the United States was using racist terms to describe…

we have always had a challenge in our country, maybe in every country, between, you know, people who embrace change and people who are afraid of change.

I am a co-sponsor and supporter of my friend, Mr. Foster's, bill, H.R. 3305, the End the Threat of Default Act, to take that tool away from Congress, because Congress has proven that we cannot be trusted with that responsibility.

Then let's--for goodness sake, let's stop subsidizing enhanced oil recovery. It is a boondoggle.

I am getting exhausted hearing my friends across the aisle say that what we need to do is to subsidize energy sources that are slashing their prices and losing market share.

I was pleased we actually voted on the floor last night, we had an amendment that myself and Representative McEachin put in to start the process of eliminating that credit subsidy.

Every clean energy technology we have has a lower operating cost than the technology it displaces.

getting to a clean energy economy is synonymous with getting to a cheap energy economy.

I trust most of my colleagues have heard of ``Hot Girl Summer'' and the broader Megan Thee Stallion oeuvre. Madam Speaker, I rise today to declare the start of ``Hot FERC Summer,'' with FERC, of course, being the Federal Energy Regulatory…

I think we have twisted our arm an awful lot congratulating ourselves for doing what is politically possible.

It is maddening to me that we subsidize energy extraction in this country and we also subsidize energy conservation.

I truly hope we are not still arguing about whether climate change is real. My goodness, the science is so settled.

I would like to take some time now to rise to talk about something that I have talked about--some would say too much--on this floor. To yet, again, discuss the grave threat and the massive opportunity that is the climate crisis. Even as we…

When we deregulated our power industry in 1992, with the energy policy act, that was never presented as being an environmental bill, as far as I can remember. It was designed to encourage people to build cheaper power. And what did they…
