Quote "The devastating effects of climate change are real and they are happening today—and the causes are largely the result of human activity. Simply put, we are fundamentally altering the earth, and without urgent action we face catastrophe. I strongly support the president’s decision to confront greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. These power plants account for nearly 40 percent of U.S. emissions and need to be regulated.”
