                    INVESTING IN CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, there is perhaps no greater threat to 
our future than the climate crisis.
  House Democrats understand the severity of this existential threat 
and the harm it poses to the American people, our health, our national 
security, and our economic prosperity.
  That is why House Democrats have championed comprehensive and 
sustainable investments in a clean energy future. Our efforts were 
relentless to secure passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which 
includes historic investments in climate action. By investing in smart 
policies for clean, secure American energy production, this law makes 
monumental strides in fighting the climate crisis, all while creating 
millions of good-paying jobs.
  While congressional Republicans remain occupied with lining the 
pockets of Big Oil, global corporations that saw record profits while 
Americans struggled to make ends meet, Democrats remain steadfast in 
putting people over politics as we continue to work to protect our 
planet and a strong, prosperous future for working families.
