...we must rise to the challenge of climate change and revitalize our economy by increasing our efforts in the areas of energy efficiency; developing and adopting cleaner ways of producing electricity; and creating jobs. - Robert P. Casey
Senator Toomey believes that coal is an essential part of America's energy future, not to mention an important part of Pennsylvania's economy. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been especially aggressive in pursuing regulations that specifically target coal power plants. - Pat Toomey Senate website
Climate change is real and humans are a contributing factor. Leaders on both sides of the aisle must take serious and reasonable steps to protect our planet. - Brian Fitzpatrick
At a time when climate change and global warming pose an unparalleled threat to our national security and the safety of the planet, we must fight back against the Trump Administration's codification of climate change denial. - Brendan Boyle
I believe that our urban core can be an economic generator for our country and do so through green energy investment, mass transportation improvement and other sustainable practices leading the way. I will champion these and other issues in Congress. - Dwight Evans
Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing our nation and planet, and it deserves a serious response. - Mary Scanlon
Climate Change and the greed of Big Oil are decimating our remaining natural wonders and seashores. - Susan Wild
The President's EPA claims that climate change is fueled by carbon pollution but fails to get tough with the biggest polluters in the global community like China and Russia. - Tom Marino
The workers of the 13th District overwhelmingly elected President Trump to remove them from bad deals that hurt their businesses and eliminate their jobs, and I do not support reentering this lopsided pact that is unfair to my constituents. - John Joyce , discussing the Paris Climate Accord
I support President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. This was an unfair deal that put our country at a disadvantage by giving a free pass to the world's worst polluters while forcing unrealistic demands on our national economy. - Guy Reschenthaler, House website.
The reason the global temp is rising is due to China's disregard for the environment and emissions standards. In PA, fracking has shown to cut energy costs for millions of Americans while decreasing air pollution and cutting carbon emissions. Guy Reschenthaler, 2020, on Twitter
I don't know if we'll approach it from the same perspective (as the Democrats), but I think it's time for everyone in the agriculture industry to get credit for the great things we've done, whether that's for sustainability, climate change or just a clean environment. - Glenn Thompson, quoted by Lancaster Farming
As Congress develops an energy policy, the policy should include an "all of the above" approach to solving our energy needs--a policy that encourages development and increases all forms of American energy, from biofuels to coal and everything in between. - Mike Kelly, House website
