"This investment of over $53 billion dollars will provide strategic resources to communities to address these changing environmental challenges as well as those struggling to recover from decades of underinvestment, while creating good-paying jobs in communities left behind in the transition to a new economy."
"Through the funding provided here we are building the architecture for the future and using this moment to lift up our nation’s most vulnerable so that every person, no matter their background or where they live, has the opportunity to contribute and succeed."
"This presents us with an opportunity to build a green economy and create new, good-paying American jobs. This bill helps achieve that by providing $45 million for renewable energy development, $213 million for a national initiative to reclaim abandoned mines and cap orphan oil and gas wells, and it provides funding for the Administration’s Civilian Climate Corps, which will be crucial in our ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and to fight climate change."
"I’m proud that this bill makes long-overdue investments to care for our planet, fight the climate emergency, and meet our trust obligations to tribal nations."
"I am proud that the bill before us today restores American leadership around the globe in dealing with responding to threats, including the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, addressing urgent humanitarian needs, and confronting the climate crisis."
