That is why I introduced the 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019, which directs federal agencies to use all existing authorities to put the United States on the path toward meeting the hundred percent clean energy economy goal while remaining…

As we all know, climate change is the single greatest threat to our planet, our health, our national security, and the well-being of all our friends and neighbors.

We appreciate the thoughtful questions provided by Representative McEachin, and thank you and the Subcommittee once again for your commitment to ensuring that NOAA workers can work free from sexual harassment and violence on the job.

There is no issue more important than preventing and mitigating climate change and speeding our transition to a clean energy economy.

We desperately need climate action and we desperately need climate justice, and we cannot have one without the other.

A hundred percent clean will protect public health and our environment, create well-paying clean jobs, and strengthen our economy.

Protecting these communities from dangerous air pollution and from the worst impacts of climate change is a moral imperative.

What is the best way for Congress to protect children from this harmful pollution?

Despite funding and bipartisan support, rural broadband deployment in this country has lagged behind where it should be for far too long.

We should be getting asbestos out of our products and out of our commerce and not offering a pathway back to market uses that we have abandoned decades ago.

In my judgment, nothing is more important than speeding our transition to a sustainable green-collar economy.

As I said earlier, climate change is a civil rights issue.

I think that it is really important that those communities that are leading and are doing the work, that they not be marginalized, and that they be supported and invested in.

Thank you for your leadership on the most urgent threat facing our planet: climate change.

I am extremely displeased with the National Park Service's announcement yesterday that it is proposing to roll back a regulation prohibiting inhumane and scientifically unjustified methods of hunting on National Preserve lands in Alaska.
