I am committed to taking aggressive action to halt and reverse the effects of climate change. That is why I am working to end our reliance on fossil fuels, keep our air and water clean, and invest in clean energy.
Will take aggressive action to halt and reverse the effects of climate change by ending reliance on fossil fuels, keeping air and water clean, and investing in clean energy.
Occurrences
Evidence
Chu said she met with EPA Region 9 officials about soil testing for homes destroyed by the Eaton Fire, pressed for additional protections, and said she would keep pushing for full remediation for survivors.
Chu backed an independent investigation into delayed Eaton Fire response and said authorities should take all necessary steps so the failure is not repeated.
Chu’s energy page says she supports aggressive climate action, wants to end reliance on fossil fuels, keep air and water clean, and invest in clean energy; it also cites her support for IRA climate tax incentives and a climate service corps bill.
Assessments
This promise is framed as taking aggressive action on climate change rather than personally achieving a full national transition away from fossil fuels. The evidence shows Chu publicly backed major clean-energy policy, including Inflation Reduction Act climate incentives and a climate service corps proposal, and she also pushed EPA and state authorities on wildfire-related environmental protection and remediation. That supports meaningful action on clean energy and air/water protection. But the record provided does not show that she delivered the broader promised outcome of ending reliance on fossil fuels or fully reversing climate harms, and much of the evidence is issue advocacy and oversight rather than a completed policy result directly attributable to her. On federal-office credit, this supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
