Senator Schatz Praises President Obama's Commitment To Clean Energy

Statement

In response to tonight's State of the Union address, Senator Brian Schatz praised President Obama's clear plan to strengthen our middle-class and his commitment to a clean energy economy.

"President Obama laid out a clear plan to help middle-class families grow and prosper once again. While we've made progress to get our economy back on track, the President's commitment to a thriving clean energy economy ensures that we will get people back to work and continue to address climate change, the most urgent challenge of our generation. I look forward to working with the President and the Hawai`i delegation to craft policies that create good-paying jobs across the country and to ensure that Hawai`i continues to establish itself as a leader in clean energy both nationally and internationally."
