Over the past few months, I’ve heard voices calling to dismantle, block, rewrite, or otherwise slow-walk major parts of the Biden-Harris Administration’s signature climate and infrastructure legislation. Let me be clear: these calls and legislative proposals are out of touch with the needs and priorities of Americans regardless of political, socio-economic, or geographical boundaries.
As EPA administrator, I’ve had the privilege of traveling all across our great nation. I’ve traveled to big cities, small rural towns, and everything in between. I’ve visited solar-powered community centers in Las Vegas and Atlanta; a school district in Alma, Kansas with brand new electric school buses; natural areas restored outside Wilmington, North Carolina; and sustainable, retrofitted factories in Pittsburgh. If you’re wondering what these projects have in common, they were made possible thanks to President Joe Biden’s investments in America.
