Senator Wyden's inclusion of registered apprenticeship utilization in his bill is a way to do that.

If you are a nurse in Medford, OR this afternoon and you treat COVID patients, you pay taxes with every single paycheck.

This is the right approach for high-wage, high-skill jobs. This is the right approach for addressing the existential threat of the climate emergency.

I would like to express again my appreciation for Chairman Wyden's thoughtful legislation.

We applaud the Senate Finance Committee for taking this ambitious first step in evaluating how the tax code can be better leveraged to reduce GHG emissions, strengthen U.S. energy security, and reduce energy costs.

That target comes with a lot of big challenges, starting with energy-related emissions, as well as transportation.

The Finance Committee meets this morning for its first hearing on the climate crisis since 2009.

Last week I introduced the Clean Energy for America Act that would throw the old set of more than 40 tax breaks in the dust bin.

Congress should encourage the Biden administration to abandon this misguided path and instead seek to export vaccines from the United States.

Democrats and Republicans are working on new legislation that will take concrete steps to boost this country's competitiveness.

I have 11 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following…

The trade rip-offs and underhanded tactics the Chinese Government and enterprises have employed to grow at our expense are well known.

I introduced a bill called the Greenhouse Gas Emission Atmospheric Removal Act.

The decades-long effort by the Chinese Government to manipulate global competition in their favor by any means necessary.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Tribute to Chris Maier

I have worked successfully with a bipartisan group of Senators, including Senator Manchin, our Chairman.

This is a bipartisan effort. Senator Crapo and I have been talking in considerable detail about the core issues.

Concentrating unfettered power in the executive is China's approach, not ours.

This will be a significant bipartisan push on issues that are front and center for this committee.
