              PROTECTING THE PLANET FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

  (Mr. AUCHINCLOSS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. AUCHINCLOSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to discuss the climate 
crisis and clean energy investments we need to continue as we double 
down on the work we started this Congress to protect a planet of clean 
air and clean water for future generations.
  During the district work period, I hosted a conference on climate 
action and clean energy at Olin College of Engineering in Needham, 
Massachusetts. Across three panels of experts, we covered policy and 
industry, clean energy science and technology, and international 
affairs.
  Despite the challenges we discussed, I am optimistic. There is 
growing political will, abundant talent and innovation, and increasing 
global cooperation around the imperative of a clean energy transition.
  Next Congress we must build on that political will in order to 
achieve a future of clean air, clean water, and clean energy that is 
too cheap to meter.
