Lowering Energy Costs and Protecting the Environment
New Hampshire’s mountains, lakes, beaches, and forests are part of our way of life and drive our economy. Chris is fighting to protect our natural environment, address the existential threat of climate change, and invest in lower-cost, clean energy solutions.
Chris supports an all-of-the-above energy strategy to meet the needs of Granite Staters, lower costs, and ensure America can become truly energy independent. That is why he secured federal funding to bolster clean energy in New Hampshire, build out EV charging infrastructure, and help families weatherize their homes and invest in alternative energies that keep their costs down.
Chris passed the largest climate change legislation in history, the Inflation Reduction Act, and championed vital climate resilience funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law so communities in New Hampshire can withstand catastrophic weather events and rebuild their homes, businesses, and infrastructure. To safeguard New Hampshire’s outdoors for future generations, Chris came together with Republicans to help pass the Great American Outdoors Act, the most significant nature conservation legislation in decades.
Chris has fought to ensure communities have safe, clean water, including making historic investments to replace lead pipes. He has led the charge in Congress to address PFAS contamination and wrote legislation to protect communities from these “forever chemicals,” take on corporate polluters, and establish stronger national safety standards.
