Energy
Our Valley is rich in energy and natural resources that are critical to our nation. I believe in and support U.S. energy independence, which will advance our energy security, end dependence on foreign countries and create good-paying American jobs. We must also invest in energy efficiency while transitioning to cheaper, clean energy and other policies that will diversify and sustain our domestic energy sector.
Congressional Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act supports energy reliability and cleaner energy production coupled with historic investments in American clean energy manufacturing. The law includes direct consumer incentives to buy energy-efficient and electric appliances, clean vehicles, and rooftop solar, and invest in home energy efficiency, with a significant portion of the funding going to lower-income households and disadvantaged communities. In Congress, I will continue to advocate for policies that will safeguard American energy security for years to come.
