the transition to a low-carbon economy is more important today than ever before, and I mentioned in my opening remarks that we are facing three overlapping crises,--a pandemic, an economic collapse, and a climate emergency--and it is…

These fires are climate fires, and it was disheartening to watch the President on the ground in California earlier this week, once again, fully deny scientific fact.

the fires are producing some of the worst air quality in the world.

Unfortunately, this is all a preview of what's in store for the future if we don't take bold, decisive action to combat the climate crisis.

Why can't we bring back the manufacturing and manufacture those solar panels?

We must strengthen the Safe Drinking Water Act to ensure that everyone has access to drinking water that is safe and healthy.

Where you live should not play a factor in whether or not your tap water is clean and safe.

It is time we improve the standard-setting process to one that works efficiently and in a timely manner and that is health-based and covers vulnerable populations.

Safe drinking water obviously is essential to our Nation's public health, and never has that been more clear than during this pandemic.

This simply should not be happening.

Unfortunately, there are fundamental weaknesses in both the design and implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act that leave us all at risk.

Every American should be able to turn on their tap confident that the water coming out is safe and healthy.
