“We’re working tirelessly with the White House and Congress to deliver bold climate action that would accelerate our move toward a clean energy economy,” said Elizabeth Gore, EDF Senior Vice President for Political Affairs. “We can and must confront the climate crisis, protect communities, create millions of good-paying jobs and lower costs to families and businesses. That’s why we’re teaming up with NRDC to urge our leaders to make bold investments in clean energy and electric vehicles. President Biden has declared ‘code red’ on climate change – and working with Congress, he has an historic opportunity to strengthen our economy today while benefiting generations to come.”
“President Biden has made it clear: We must confront the rising costs and increasing dangers of the climate crisis, we have the solutions and the time to act is now,” said John Bowman, managing director of government affairs at NRDC. “Congress must immediately enact the clean energy and climate investments the president has called for. They will create good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for families, improve justice in overburdened communities and address the climate crisis. NRDC and our partners at Environmental Defense Fund are ready to fight for our future—let’s get the job done.”
