Sheldon Whitehouse actually said...

Economic inequality not only is an injustice in and of itself, but it actually impedes economic growth.

reducing inequality and mitigating climate change go hand in hand.

climate change could lower world GDP by 4 percent to 18 percent within 30 years depending on how aggressively we tackle it now.

the longer we continue to depend on fossil fuel, the more we subject ourselves to unfair improper cartel pricing.
