 I am a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Environment. In my view, having talked to scientists all over this country and all over the world, the debate is over, climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and it is already causing devastating problems in our country and around the world. In my view, we have a moral responsibility to leave this planet in a way that is healthy and habitable for our kids and future generations. Now, I am more than aware that North Dakota is a fossil fuel state. I have, and that there are a whole lot of workers who are supporting their families with income that comes from the fossil fuel industry. And I am not here to blame anybody, at least of all the workers. But I believe, and legislation that I have introduced would provide 41 billion dollars to help those workers and those communities that lost jobs as a result of this energy transformation. 41 billion dollars. Our job, our goal is not to punish the workers. It is to save this planet.
