Issue Position: Environmental Protections

Issue Position

I believe that climate change is a serious threat to our children and grandchildren. We must act now to both reduce climate pollutants and to adapt to environmental changes that are already underway, such as sea level rise, periodic drought, infestations of invasive species, and an increase in wildfires.

I am proud of my votes to extend our Global Warming Solutions Act, and to reduce short lasting climate pollutants. I have authored legislation to enhance the diversion of organic waste from landfills, thereby reducing methane emissions, and to promote alternative forms of energy, including solar, wind and biomass generation. I continue to support incentives to encourage the purchase of zero-emission vehicles and to increase the use of public transportation.
