Mr. Speaker, 100 million Americans live in counties with unhealthy air pollution. Our children, our elders, low- income communities, and communities of color are most at risk. The good news is, we are addressing it. The good news is, with the Chips and Science Act, we are starting to do research that will lead to even bigger and better advances in how we bring down those emissions. With the bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act, we are building out the electric charging stations that we need so you can get across Minnesota, New Mexico, and everywhere in between if you choose to have an electric vehicle. That is going to be your choice. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Stansbury), an amazing sister who believes in fighting for the clean air of our beautiful State.
