Build a clean energy economy and end dependence on Big Oil and foreign countries.
Occurrences
Evidence
Senator Maggie Hassan was part of an all-women bipartisan Senate delegation that toured Arctic facilities, reviewed critical Arctic infrastructure and discussed the strategic importance of sustained U.S. investment in the High North.
Senator Hassan promoted the Inflation Reduction Act's clean-energy investments to New Hampshire, citing estimates (e.g., ~$490 million to the state) for large-scale clean power, tax credits for solar, storage, and measures to boost domestic manufacturing and address supply chains.
Assessments
The promise is broad (build a clean energy economy and end dependence on Big Oil and foreign countries). Evidence shows Senator Maggie Hassan actively promoted and helped advance concrete federal measures that align with that goal during her term: she publicized Inflation Reduction Act investments and estimated benefits for New Hampshire (including tax credits for solar, storage, and support for domestic clean-energy manufacturing/supply chains) and participated in a bipartisan Arctic delegation emphasizing sustained U.S. investment in strategic infrastructure. Those actions materially advanced clean-energy deployment and domestic resilience but do not constitute fully ending dependence on fossil fuel interests and foreign sources. Therefore the pledge is partially fulfilled (meaning real progress and effort, but not complete delivery).
