Protecting the Planet for Future Generations

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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.
