Lakewood, Colo. — In honor of Earth Day, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) joined the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus. The mission of the Climate Solutions Caucus is to educate members on economically-viable options to reduce climate risk and to explore bipartisan policy options that address the impacts, causes and challenges of our changing climate. The caucus is co-chaired by Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL-22) and Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL-26), and now has 75 members, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, representing diverse districts from across the country.

“Our climate is changing and already impacting communities in Colorado and across the world. We need to be discussing bipartisan solutions to reduce human impact on the planet to preserve our environment for future generations,” said Perlmutter. “My district is home to the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) which is an economic engine for our community and the world’s premier lab for energy efficiency and developing clean and renewable energy technologies. National labs like NREL play an important role in supporting American technological innovation and advancing energy efficiency measures. I look forward to working with my colleagues as part of this caucus as we continue to pursue clean energy policies to reduce the serious threat of climate change.”
