Democratic members defeated Republican amendments opposing climate justice and preventing investments in clean energy technology.
John,
SEEC members of Congress and Democrats made significant progress during the House Energy and Commerce budget markup recently.
Among the accomplishments spearheaded by SEEC members of Congress were:
Establishing a uniform clean energy standard
Providing incentives for electric companies to invest in renewable energy sources
Moving utility companies rapidly toward renewable energy
Significant funding for electric vehicles
Dramatically increasing the number of electric charging stations across the country
Prioritizing electric vehicle “friendly” infrastructure
Significant investments in clean drinking water
They also defeated multiple Republican anti-environment amendments, which increased support to the Big Energy, Big Coal, and Big Oil sectors.
SEEC member Congressman Paul Tonko, who is Chair of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change, was instrumental in having significant investment in clean energy automobiles and creating a greenhouse gas reduction fund included in the markup.

John, SEEC members of Congress are taking the lead on moving President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda through Congress. They’re ensuring climate change solutions are front-and-center of all budgetary debates and decision-making.
