I hold a lot of townhalls, one in every county every year, all 36 counties, open townhall.

The farming, the fishing, and the forestry are being severely impacted in my state right now just within my lifetime

If we keep developing new sources then essentially what we're doing is we're committing ourselves to a path of warming that goes on for the generations to come

If the U.S. keeps doing new fossil projects doesn't that essentially give the rest of the world a free pass

The amount of carbon already in kind of the affirmed assets of petroleum companies is 200 percent more than what will take us from here to 1.5 degrees

I would invite my colleagues across the aisle to join us in ending dark money on both sides.

The world is at this crisis point, and yet the DFC is doing exactly what we have to not do.

The amount of fossils that can be burned by humankind across the globe, and keep us below 1.5 degrees centigrade, is microscopic now.

When is DFC going to quit financing all fossil fuel projects?

I think countering corruption is an absolutely critical part of what you are doing.

What steps has DFC taken to implement its timeline for reaching net zero emissions by the year 2040?

In its lifecycle, because methane is such a heat collector, it is as bad as coal.
