But among the most powerful tools in this arsenal to crush the virus is obviously a safe and effective vaccine.

I do believe it's a new day, because, unlike under Trump, under Biden now, we have a national plan...

Last week, President Biden said that every American who wants a vaccine should be able to get one by the end of July.

A letter from Representative Pallone and others to Governor Greg Abbott, dated February 19th, 2021;

The failure to ensure a reliable natural gas supply was a major cause of the outages that we are now facing.

I don't want this devastating situation in Texas to be blamed on renewables, because I just think that is false.

I am trying very hard today and in the future to have us move towards a collective, you know, bipartisan response to the climate crisis.

A national CES can play a key role in building a clean power sector, which is critical to reducing carbon emissions

We plan to introduce an updated version of the CLEAN Future Act that will serve as the basis for comprehensive climate action this year

Ultimately, this episode underscores the importance of prioritizing clean and resilient energy infrastructure

Last year Chairmen Rush, Tonko, and I released a draft of the CLEAN Future Act, comprehensive climate legislation to get us to a 100 percent clean economy by 2050.

Today the Energy Subcommittee begins its work for this Congress renewing our efforts to chart a path to a clean energy future.

Thank you, Chairman Pallone, Ranking Member Rodgers, Subcommittee Chairman Tonko, and Subcommittee Ranking Member McKinley, for inviting me to participate in this important discussion.

We want to make sure that they share in those changes and that they have a good job and they are not left behind.

It is a new day for climate and environmental action in the U.S., and this committee, as I said, is ready to lead.

This committee will play a critical role in advancing legislation to revitalize our Nation's infrastructure using well-paid workers and clean materials made in America.

For too long, communities of color, low-income communities, fence-line communities, and others on the front lines of climate change have borne the brunt of environmental injustice.

I am thrilled that the Biden administration has hit the ground running on climate.

The science is clear. We must achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 if we are to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change.

You are recognized for 5 minutes for an opening statement.

As I mentioned in my opening, the committee drafted comprehensive climate change legislation last Congress, the CLEAN Future Act, and I have been pleased to see significant similarities between the CLEAN Future Act and the early climate…

It is paramount that Congress take action to give EPA the full authority and to explore a full policy like a clean electricity standard.

President Biden is working to ensure that as we Build Back Better, we create opportunities for all Americans.

Climate action presents a unique opportunity to revive our economy and create good, well-paying jobs in promising new industries.

I think it is really important, you know, if you talk about section 13(b), and what I am hearing from every single witness here today is that Congress needs to act forthwith.
