protect ... a healthy, sustainable environment
Protect a healthy, sustainable environment.
Occurrences
In Congress, I will support policies and investments that move our country toward creating the clean energy economy and reducing our carbon footprint.
Evidence
The campaign environment page says Schneider believes climate change is a grave threat, says environmental sustainability requires a comprehensive approach, and states that he is committed to urgently addressing climate change and ensuring a healthy, clean natural world for future generations.
Congress.gov shows Schneider introduced H.R.3440, the Sustainable Skies Act, on 2021-05-20. The bill was referred to Ways and Means and the summary states it was designed to incentivize sustainable aviation fuel and cut aviation emissions.
Congress.gov shows Schneider introduced H.R.10033 on 2024-10-22 and referred it to the House Committee on Ways and Means. The bill text would extend the clean fuel production credit from December 31, 2027, to December 31, 2037.
On 2025-01-24, Schneider joined more than 130 House Democrats in introducing a resolution condemning withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and warning that it would weaken U.S. leadership on clean energy and climate action.
Schneider's office said he introduced the Expanding Clean Fuel Production Act to extend the Section 45Z clean fuel production credit for ten additional years and accelerate the transition to cleaner fuels.
Assessments
Schneider made concrete environmental and climate-policy efforts, including introducing the Sustainable Skies Act and the Expanding Clean Fuel Production Act and joining a Paris Agreement resolution. However, the cited bills remained at introduction or committee referral, and the resolution was a protest/condemnation measure rather than enacted policy. The evidence shows serious legislative follow-through but not fulfillment of the promised outcome of protecting a healthy, sustainable environment through delivered policy results.
