These policies will raise energy costs and undermine baseload electric generation, threatening families and businesses with more frequent and wholly preventable blackouts.

I would say that the bill that we passed, the Safe Drinking Water and Wastewater, and then as was incorporated into the BIF, in terms of trying to manage or trying to modernize some of these old storm systems.
this summer, the Senate passed historic bipartisan legislation that would make meaningful investments in our physical infrastructure. We did the hard work. We did the hard work to produce legislation that meets current and future needs by…
The Hurricane Storm Damage Risk Reduction System, known as HSDRRS, for New Orleans authorized by Congress and constructed by the Corps after the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina performed as intended.
We all intently watched the impacts and aftermaths of Hurricane Ida, both in Louisiana, but also in the Northeast.
Well, I think what we are going to see later this afternoon is a breaking news crawl: Pizza boxes are recyclable.
We see recycling as a win-win solution that presents significant environmental and economic benefits.
I regret that I cannot support the remaining nominee at CSB, Dr. Jennifer Sass.
I also cannot support the nomination of Jeffrey Prieto to serve as General Counsel of the EPA.
