Energy and Environment

We must always prioritize America's economy and our national security. That means having the sources of energy to bring back manufacturing while having a moonshot in renewable energy and energy efficiency to create jobs, lower costs, end our dependence on petrostate authoritarians, and tackle the climate crisis. Investing in solar and wind is critical, and nuclear energy, geothermal, and clean hydrogen are also part of the solution.

As the former Chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Environment, I am working in Congress to advance legislation to spur a clean energy economy and protect our air and water. We must make sure that we never compromise American manufacturers, American jobs or American security in any transition and that our nation's energy needs are always met.

I support legislation to close loopholes for fracking that exempt Big Oil companies from clean water and air regulations and a ban on fracking on public lands. We can strengthen and diversify our economy while protecting our planet and providing for American workers and their families.

It is our responsibility to leave the planet healthy and safe for our children and future generations. This requires preserving open spaces, developing sustainable communities, practicing water conservation, and investing in alternative energy sources to achieve energy independence.
