This Wednesday, I’m partnering with the Vermont Energy & Climate Action Network to host a town meeting on the federal climate investments in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. I want to hear from Vermont’s town energy committees, as well as Vermonters who are working to address the climate crisis, about how we can best use federal dollars to support the important work happening in our state.
Nowhere in our country has been spared from the consequences of climate change: from deadly wildfires, to unprecedented heatwaves and droughts, to devastating flooding and hurricanes. The American people know that climate change is a huge threat. If this budget reconciliation bill is passed, I’m confident it will help put the U.S. in a global leadership position to combat climate change and make our planet healthy and habitable for future generations.
I know there are many, many Vermonters who want to be part of the solution, who are fighting every day to build a clean, affordable, renewable energy system. If you’re interested in discussing how we can work together, please join this town meeting.
I look forward to speaking with you on Wednesday!
