This week, SEEC joined NYC Week 2025 to demonstrate continued leadership on climate action at the federal level. They were joined by @SpeakerPelosi who spoke to what’s possible when we come together to drive bold climate & clean energy solutions. Read: https://t.co/rHqqWB0Ylt

Clean energy is cheap energy. U.S. energy policy should prioritize the needs of energy consumers, not energy producers. I teamed up with Rep. Mike Levin to unveil the Cheap Energy Agenda, a consumer-focused approach to United States energy policy that ensures Americans have

Trump announces plan for you to buy more gas and pollute our environment. Next up is his horse and buggy proposal. Florida has the 2nd most EV’s in the nation and a ton of hybrids too. We’re not going back. 🚙 ⚡️ https://t.co/ADwHbG626P

Just in: @EnergyCommerce advanced my legislation that supports weatherization efforts and brings down home energy costs for families. Let’s get this bill passed at once to ensure utilities are more affordable for Americans as we enter the winter months. https://t.co/wPLtYnFXyw

Trump promised lower energy bills on Day 1. 316 days later, Republicans on my Committee just blocked my amendment to guarantee exactly that. Every single one voted NO.

New Scripps research using the Mobile LiDAR system shows most San Diego beaches are widening. I’m proud to have secured federal funding for the LiDAR system, and tens of millions of dollars to widen beaches in San Diego and Orange County. I’ll keep fighting for federal

A report from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography shows most San Diego County beaches have widened over the past year, marking an early rebound following last winter’s strong El Niño, and…

Killing the fuel-efficiency standards is a lose-lose-lose situation: losing out on $84B in total savings, losing out on 50.4 miles per gallon in fuel efficiency by 2031, & losing out to our foreign competitors who are rapidly innovating in more efficient vehicle technologies.
Once again, President Trump and Republicans are choosing to boost profits for oil & gas CEOs, rather than bring down costs for the average American. Killing the fuel-efficiency standards is a lose-lose-lose situation: losing out on $84 billion in total savings, losing out on

Today, @SEEC Climate Jobs Task Force, led by @RepBonamici, @RepNikkiB, & @RepDeSaulnier, endorsed bills that confront the Trump Admin’s attacks on America's federal workers, protect our workforce from rising temperatures, & support future good-paying, family-sustaining U.S. jobs.

Curbing dangerous methane emissions is the fastest, most effective way to slow global warming. In 2021, President Biden signed my legislation to do just that. Delaying these requirements is equivalent to adding 25 million gas-powered cars to our roads. https://t.co/bButDg2pOK

Oil and gas firms were supposed to start reducing methane, a powerful driver of climate change. The agency is giving them more time and may cancel the requirement.

Trump continues his wave of destruction upon Florida. This time he wants to allow manatees to be decimated. He’s pushed offshore oil drilling, more pollution and now threatening manatees. Clean water, tourism, wildlife and recreation are all at risk.

Environmentalists say the proposed rollbacks could threaten the lives of sea cows through habitat loss, pollution and development.

Among the most disturbing of the Trump administration’s multi-front attack on decades of environmental protections: the Environmental Protection Agency’s rollback of hard-fought limits on PFAS “forever chemicals” in our drinking water. I joined @RepLaMonica and over 100 other

It's important that our local farmers have every opportunity to thrive. That's why I'm joining @RepKimSchrier and @RepMGP in prioritizing funding for innovative, climate-resilient crops produced by low-income and minority farmers. READ: https://t.co/U2EuwsU3pT

Southern California shouldn’t be sacrificed so oil companies can chase a few barrels that won’t move gas prices at all. Our coast powers tens of thousands of jobs, and one spill could wipe them out. Trump’s drilling scheme is risky, unnecessary, and likely illegal. We’re going to

It’s beyond time to cleanup the Passaic River / Diamond Alkali Superfund Site and hold polluters accountable. Protecting public health and safety has to come first and we need to push this project forward. Read more 👇

I joined @EnergyCommerce on the House Floor this afternoon to speak against a bill that would give Big Oil even more power, limit independent oversight of refineries, like those in our community, and make us all less safe.

This is a TERRIBLE idea in Florida! It would trash our environment, and hurt tourism and fishing, two top industries here. I’m sure he’d be thrilled to see oil rigs right outside Mar-a-Lago. 🤷
BREAKING: The Trump administration is seeking to reopen federal waters off California and Florida to oil drilling. https://t.co/0YJeNLKAJz

More than 300,000 people across Massachusetts are struggling to keep their homes warm because the Trump administration is holding federal home heating assistance hostage. Grateful to @MassGovernor for joining our demand to release this winter’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Colder days are coming, but 150K Massachusetts families are still waiting on the Trump Administration to release funding they need to heat their homes. The shutdown's been over for a week. President Trump needs to do his damn job and get heating assistance out today.

Prioritizing the interests of energy producers over the interests of energy consumers has caused prices to skyrocket. It's time for an approach to energy policy that puts American consumers first.
