Environment

Protecting the environment is vital to protecting the health of all Americans, especially our children. Unfortunately, the Bush administration reversed 30 years of bipartisan support for the environment by rolling back important regulations, proposing drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, withdrawing from the Kyoto Treaty, and crippling provisions in the landmark Clean Air Act.

We must refocus our efforts on policies that promote cleaner air, cleaner water, and preservation of our natural resources. Congress has a responsibility to take bold action to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, stop global warming, and ensure that America is in the forefront in developing innovative technologies.
