Ranking Member Lofgren Reacts to SOTU, Echoes Biden on Importance of Clean Energy Future

(WASHINGTON, DC) — This evening, President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. 

“This evening, President Biden reaffirmed his commitment to keep America moving forward in our greatest endeavors,” said Ranking Member Lofgren (D-CA). “As Extreme MAGA Republicans continue to try and pull us backwards, President Biden and House Democrats are working to build a brighter future for all Americans. That bright future includes working to strengthen our clean energy efforts and build climate solutions that will decarbonize our planet to sustain humanity while creating thousands of good paying jobs. Fusion energy is a key part of our pursuit to fight the climate crisis. Fusion has seen incredible breakthroughs in the last few years, and we need to capitalize on this amazing progress. I remain committed to working to boost support for fusion energy science so we can realize the full potential of this technology and continue to move the nation forward—like President Biden mentioned tonight. The climate crisis will not wait, and the stakes could not be higher.”
