The opportunity to talk a little bit about what we have been doing on the Energy Committee for the past year in an effort to really focus on where we have been with Energy Policy and really helping to move forward in a way that is not the same old same old, but really real imagining and refocusing where we should be has been an important opportunity for us to really put some considered thought into the proposal. What you have in front of you is better than airplane reading. There are some suggestions in this energy 2020 document that people will look at and they will argue and they will say that is one persons view. That is true, that is true. But while we are trying to do is not give you a legislative package starting with initiatives that we are going to kind of clicked off as we move forward.

Can Indiana Meet The Proposed National Clean Energy Standard?

Public Service Enterprise Group is now setting its goal for achieving net-zero climate emissions by 2030, an ambitious target 20 years ahead of a previous goal set by New Jersey’s largest energy company.
The goal marks one of the first and most aggressive net-zero emission pledges set in the U.S. by a large utility and power generation company. “Net-zero” refers to the balance between greenhouse-gas emissions produced and those removed from the atmosphere.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) surveyed its 95 members, which include far-left members of the “Squad” Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and released a list of priorities the CPC as a whole is advancing at the current stage of infrastructure discussions. The list includes five key areas, which include beefing up government-run health care and tackling climate-related issues while providing amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.
