We need a level playing field, and we need to stop deluding ourself that the level playing field doesn't overwhelmingly skew to the dirty energy sector.

Never ending subsidies skew markets in a way that stifles American innovation.

The scale of what we are talking about in transmission in our infrastructure plan is a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of that, and we don't start to grapple with the numbers you're talking about, we're going to be wrong-footed.

There is an understandable political bias for everybody to say we couldn't have seen this coming, and we did

Any conversation we're having about the conversion to a clean energy economy being economically painful is at best economically naive, and at worst immoral.

There is such a danger in politicizing science. This science is settled, and my goodness, let us not continue that nonsense any longer.

The transitional risks are hard, though, because converting to a clean energy system means converting to an energy system that has lower marginal operating costs.

You have a hard job and you are always biased in favor of clarity rather than opacity as you balance some of the political tensions of your job.

What happens if we get this wrong is written in Lincoln's second inaugural, when one party would ``make war rather than let the Nation survive.'' On September 11, we came together against an enemy without. On January 6, we were attacked by…

The overwhelming majority of American people voted for Joe Biden. The overwhelming majority of the American voted to preserve the Democratic values in the House.

A Mitch McConnell-led Senate is not going to be constructive. That's tragic.

If you are a country that believes and supports the rule of law, then you have to be committed to the principle that no one is above the law.

We shouldn't have to be talking about this, right? But, you know, all of us, whether we're elected or serving on the federal government, we are custodians of the public trust.

For every Alexander Vindman who is forced in the public spotlight, there are thousands more quiet patriots behind him, and we are grateful. But we also need your help. Congress is still waiting to receive thousands of documents from the…

I was very pleased to see that the Fed finally listed climate change among risks in its biannual Financial Stability Report.

I am here in Congress because I am deathly concerned about climate change.

I have introduced the Climate Change Financial Risk Act with Senator Schatz that is specifically to direct the Fed to essentially recognize climate as a systemic risk.

I really do, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your leadership.

Climate risk should be mandatory, and it should be clear, and it should be understandable.

There isn't an energy market in the world that is actually subject to truly competitive market forces.

I have introduced H.R. 3623, the Climate Risk Disclosure Act, which would direct the SEC to require companies to disclose these physical, these transitional risks, these emissions risks.

I have a hard time squaring that logic, because there ain't nobody building subcritical coal plants except for state-subsidized massive utilities.

I recently introduced the End Oil and Gas Subsidies Act, to eliminate just 11 specific provisions in our Tax Code.

So I spent, as you know, 20 years in the energy industry.

I think there is the separate section about disclosing emissions, which obviously is a separate issue, and that is easy.
