One of the most important legacies we can give to our kids, grandkids, and generations to come is a safe and thriving planet. That means we need to take bold steps today to protect our environment, cut pollution, and make our communities more resilient to extreme weather, and protect our planet for our kids and future generations.
I voted for the Inflation Reduction Act for a lot of reasons, one of them was that it’s the largest investment in American energy independence, job creation in new, green sectors, and it combats climate change through:
- Investments in American energy production, and does more to combat climate change than any bill in history.
- Investments in agriculture, coastal restoration, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and transportation that will benefit hardworking New Jersey families.
- Cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030, making the United States well-positioned to meet our climate goals while also investing in our economy.
- Saves families an average of $1,000 per year in energy costs and creates good paying jobs.
The investments we make now will create thousands of jobs in New Jersey and provide a cleaner, safer environment to enjoy now and in generations to come. That is a future we can look forward to, and one we can feel proud of when we hand it off to our kids and the next generation of leaders.
