I spoke on the Senate floor against efforts to overturn ANWR’s land management plan and allow oil and gas drilling in these pristine public lands.

Gas leaks are senseless pollution, as companies lose the very product they want to sell. Delaying crackdowns on these leaks will increase methane pollution—a greenhouse gas that’s 80x more powerful than CO2—and dangerous smog. We won’t let Trump’s EPA give out another free pass to polluters.
