Advance legislation in Congress to spur a clean energy economy and protect air and water.
Occurrences
Evidence
Khanna and Sheldon Whitehouse introduced legislation to tax windfall profits of major fossil fuel companies, with revenue intended to cushion households from higher fuel costs.
Khanna said he would introduce legislation to bar U.S. gasoline exports during high-price periods, framing it as a way to lower domestic fuel costs and bolster energy security.
His record includes support for the Green New Deal, cosponsorship of the PFAS Detection Act to detect PFAS in the environment, and oversight work on climate disinformation from fossil-fuel companies.
Assessments
Khanna has taken concrete congressional action consistent with the promise, including introducing or co-introducing energy-related bills and backing legislation on PFAS and climate policy. But the evidence provided does not show enactment or major congressional advancement of legislation that clearly delivered the promised clean-energy and air-and-water protections. He materially pursued the goal in Congress, but the demonstrated result here is limited to proposals, sponsorship, and support rather than clear delivery.
