What you are saying is deeply, deeply untrue and misleading and, frankly, probably damaging to our mutual goals of reducing emissions in this country and around the world.

The facts are that natural gas and the fracking industry and the technology associated with that is the--it is almost 100 percent responsible for our reduction in emissions in this country back to 1992 levels.
There are no direct tax credits. There are no direct subsidies to oil and gas.
To oversubsidize those technologies, renewable technologies to the detriment of reliable clean technologies, like carbon capture and nuclear energy, is insanity.
No, renewables are not cheaper than natural gas. That is complete nonsense, complete nonsense.
To Chairman Baker, your answer can simply be, we can do whatever we want because of Tribal sovereignty.
I applaud my colleagues for their concern over the direction of scarce federal resources.
During my time in Congress, 'subsidy' has generally been defined as a sum of money transferred by the government to assist an industry or business.
A lot of people are mad because 13 Republicans voted for it, gave Pelosi and Biden a win, in their eyes.
They are not going to COP26, and they should not be hailed as some leader in climate policy.
The Build Back Better Act--offers a bold and urgent opportunity to address the climate crisis before it's too late, and give working families the support they deserve.
I think we should retake more airfields throughout the country that will take troops on the ground, it will take a complete reassessment of our strategy, but the military can do it.
All of the environmental justice literature is completely against carbon capture, and Representative Casten just spent his entire time calling it a boondoggle.
What about energy justice? What about the right of people to have power when they need it?
I don't know how we are supposed to keep engaging in bipartisanship when the majority is threatening the minority with fines and jail time for not wearing a mask.
We should be in person. This hearing is about science. Our decisions here in the Capitol should be about science.
What this is, it`s a CRT theory but it manifests in this anti-racism training. All of this stuff is connected. The primary thread that links them altogether is this. America, institutions are inherently racist.
The reality is, is that there is nothing in this bill that prioritizes communities with the highest lead readings or homes in the oldest housing stocks.
How do we prioritize where we look and how lead service line replacement actually gets sought out?
