Democrats are killing the game right now.

As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy, I often reflect on how the work we do here will prepare us for a better and brighter future for everyone.

We need to continue to take urgent action to make these goals a reality.

In April, I chaired a hearing in which DOE's Under Secretary for Science and Innovation Dr. Geraldine Richmond testified on the importance of strong federal science programs to maintain our scientific leadership and tackle the problems of…

I just want to emphasize this point to my colleagues here in Congress as we work to support robust and historic authorizations for these Federal science programs in bipartisan, bicameral conference negotiations on national competitive…

we are falling victim to what that famous Wildcatter George W. Bush said in condemning ourselves to the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Republicans, specifically Republicans in the Senate, do not want to move the country forward on any important issue. Whether it’s the Women’s Health Protection Act, the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act, or common sense gun reform, or…

We are going to continue to support the school to prison pipeline. There are many answers that need to be pursued here. Ban on assault rifles, more mental health support for kids, and more support for teachers overall, and preparedness in…

I think everything the president called for needs to be done. We need a ban on assault weapons immediately. If Congress is not brave enough to move forward with the ban, and by Congress I mean Republicans in Congress, then we need to raise…

They are the party of the great replacement theory, and much of this feeds into that when you talk about the perspective of Black and Brown people.

Republicans in the Senate helps kill a classroom of children. This makes 240 mass shootings this year alone. All of which they are complicit in. NRA donations are more valuable than life to them. They must be voted out of office.

We are all very familiar with how the fossil fuel industry has lied to the public over decades and continues to lobby against climate action.

The IPCC report says that global investment in climate action is up to six times lower than what is needed by 2030.

Why aren't we mobilizing our society on a wartime footing to deploy renewable energy and create millions of good union jobs starting in marginalized communities?

I want to call attention to the fact that the latest IPCC report I believe for the first time explicitly calls out settler colonialism and capitalism as major causes of climate vulnerability.

In response, we need urgent, transformative action from Congress and the Administration.

I want to start off by emphasizing that we are in a climate emergency, as the most recent IPCC report has reminded us yet again.

Public leaders must lead by example and adhere to the same rules that they expect the American people to follow.

We need to be upfront and honest with them when uncertainty exists.

How can we in good faith ask Americans throughout the country... to get back to work when the House refuses to do the same?

The words that we use are very important, and the actions that we take are very important.

We absolutely must be more responsible with hard-earned taxpayer dollars, especially given the high rate of inflation.

Thank you so much to Chairwoman Maloney and Rep. Bush for holding this historic hearing.

what is scientifically necessary vastly exceeds what is politically on the table at the moment.

the science is overwhelmingly clear that we have to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible.
