I cannot think of a more essential and exciting topic for us to explore and learn more about today.

States are the laboratories of innovation.

I urge the Select Committee to ensure that the next generation of automobiles are being built by American workers.

Encouraging greater production and consumer adoption of electric vehicles is key to hitting our sustainability goals.

I would also like to urge Members of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis to promote and encourage the practice of remanufacturing.

We must take advantage of the opportunity to make smart investments in clean energy to help the U.S. reduce carbon pollution.

I urge the committee to center equity in such efforts.

I urge you to make federal investments in resilient infrastructure a priority.
