Environment & Energy
The environment—our air, our water, our land—is a sacred trust that we must protect and preserve for ourselves and future generations. Today, our planet is in peril because of climate change, which is already affecting Minnesotans and Americans. In Minnesota, we know the importance of protecting our lands. That is why I have introduced the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act to permanently protect our nation’s most visited wilderness.
As a member of the Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, I am a strong supporter of action on climate change. In addition, I support full funding for environmental protections and oppose harmful efforts to weaken our bedrock clean air, clean water, and conservation laws. These are laws that protect the health of our families and our planet.
When it comes to energy, we must make smart decisions today to create clean energy jobs and safeguard our environment. Instead of doubling down on fossil fuels, I support strategic investments in clean energy infrastructure, research, and education.
