Dem Rep. Bowman: ‘We Need to Stop Drilling for Fossil Fuels Completely’

Another major problem is the Joe Manchin pipeline that we fought so hard to stop from being built, that is still a part of this bill. And what’s problematic about that is, number one, we need to stop drilling for fossil fuels completely. But number two, we need an expedited way to get us to clean, renewable energy or we will continue to have these severe weather events that we have been having for quite some time because of the warming of the planet. And then, finally, the work requirement piece has expanded to those receiving SNAP from age 49 to 50, to 54. Again, we’re talking about the most vulnerable Americans who are already living in abject poverty.”
