                        RECHARGING IN LAS VEGAS

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TITUS. Madam Speaker, a recent United Nations report confirmed 
that climate change represents nothing less than a code red for 
humanity.
  We know the largest contributor to emissions is transportation, and 
that is why efforts to decarbonize this sector are so important if we 
are serious about fighting climate change.
  Modernizing our transportation sector and moving toward a clean 
energy future means building electric vehicle infrastructure, something 
that the new law does with the first-ever Federal investments in a 
national EV charging network.
  In Nevada, this will bring over $38 million to build EV stations 
throughout the State, helping us to have a higher percentage of 
electric vehicles on the road, reduce our emissions, and address 
climate change.
  People often come to Las Vegas to recharge, and now, thanks to the 
infrastructure law, they will be able to do it in other ways and in 
other places.
