As we work to meet our growing energy demands, we can’t overlook the impacts of those projects on our environment.
That’s why I introduced a bill with @casten.house.gov and @durbin.senate.gov to require FERC to identify the impacts of natural gas pipeline projects before approving them.

All communities regardless of zip code deserve reliable broadband today and in the future.
