CLEAN ENERGY AGENDA
(Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, climate change poses a
serious threat to virtually every aspect of our lives, particularly in
my State of New Hampshire, where our economy is deeply tied to nature.
That is why, earlier this week, I was proud to unveil my Clean Energy
Agenda with climate experts from across my district to outline policies
and bills that Congress can pass this year to move the United States
toward a clean energy economy.
[[Page H717]]
I have prioritized 25 bills, most of them bipartisan, that identify
areas where Republicans and Democrats can work together to protect our
planet and create good jobs.
From investing in energy efficiency to dramatically ramping up the
deployment of renewable energy and decarbonizing our transportation
sector, my agenda includes a wide range of bills that can be passed if
we find the political will to act.
I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Energy and
Commerce Committee to advance policies that pave a pathway toward a
clean energy future.
