EDF: Today’s Vote Does Nothing to Make Our Country Safer and Stronger
Statement of Elizabeth Gore, EDF Senior Vice President, on the Senate's Green New Deal Vote
“Climate change is a threat to our economy, our national security, and our children’s future. In the face of this serious problem, we don’t understand how calling for this vote helps to make progress toward climate solutions. Today’s action does nothing to make our country safer and stronger.
“Many Republicans have started to propose serious solutions to the problem. We urge Senator Mitch McConnell to do the same.”
- Elizabeth Gore, Senior Vice President, Political Affairs
