Building on Delaware’s legacy of innovation, Senator Coons is committed to making Delaware a hub of new, clean energy technology that will create jobs and keep costs down for families while reducing emissions.
Delaware is the lowest-lying state in the union. As we watch the Atlantic and our rivers rise, eroding our beaches and flooding our cities, it’s painfully clear that climate change is real, it’s here, and it’s having an impact. Senator Coons is making sure the First State is prepared for the climate-fueled disasters of the present while mitigating the worsening of climate change.
We have a responsibility to God’s creation, to each other, to Delaware, and to future generations to help this planet, our only home, to survive.
He’s securing federal funding to make Delaware a leader in new technologies like solar, wind, and hydrogen power, in addition to improving and protecting existing facilities like the Delaware City Refinery. He’s also trying to protect programs like LIHEAP that directly lower energy costs for Delawareans facing hard times.
No parent wants to worry about the air their child is breathing or the water they’re drinking. Senator Coons is working at a federal level to support clean air and water, so our children can breathe and play without fear.
He’s also securing funding for our state’s beaches and coastline, so we can keep growing the economy that powers southern Delaware.
