CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS
(Ms. UNDERWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, climate change presents an existential
[[Page H312]]
threat to our environment, our economy, and our future. That is one of
the reasons I was so proud to support the bipartisan infrastructure
law, a generational investment in clean energy jobs and technology,
like solar.
This investment is critical for the communities I represent, which
are already working to advance clean energy technologies at home in
Illinois. Just last week Mundelein, Illinois, was awarded the
Department of Energy's SolSmart Silver award for making it faster,
easier, and more affordable for communities to utilize solar energy.
We owe it to our families, communities, and future generations to
create climate change solutions. Thanks to the bipartisan
infrastructure law, that is exactly what we are doing.
