(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — Following yesterday’s midterm elections, the Carbon Removal Alliance reaffirmed the sector’s strong commitment to work with new and returning congressional leaders to advance technological leadership in the United States and bring lasting jobs to communities across the country.
“Throughout the election, Americans made clear that they want leaders focused on building an America that supports their needs. To do that, we need to focus on America’s future and support not only existing industries but build the industries of the future,” said Giana Amador, executive director of the Carbon Removal Alliance. “Carbon removal is already delivering on those goals and ready to grow in the U.S. Innovators across the country are putting steel in the ground, creating skilled jobs, and revitalizing local economies. The United Nations recently re-affirmedopens in a new tab the critical need for both carbon removal and emissions reductions for limiting global temperature rise, and we look forward to making sure this important work happens right here in the U.S.”
Over the past two years, dozens of bipartisan congressional lawmakers and their staff have visited carbon removal facilities across the country to witness these technologies in action, including House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (now poised to be the second most powerful House member), Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii (poised to become Senate Majority Whip), Sen. Ed Markey and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Sen. Ted Budd of North Carolina, Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, Rep. Brad Knott of North Carolina, Rep. Rick Larsen of Washington, and Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York.
The Alliance looks forward to working with new leadership and returning champions alike in the 120th Congress to advance important, bipartisan policies that unlock carbon removal across the United States.
