WASHINGTON — Today, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) President Heather Reams released the following statement celebrating Republican President Donald Trump’s victory, and the formation of a Republican majority in both the U.S. Senate and a strong Republican conference emerging in the House of Representatives.
“We congratulate President Trump on his election and are pleased Republicans are on track to control both chambers of Congress. This presents an opportunity to unleash American-made energy solutions that reduce global emissions, while creating good-paying jobs and making the United States more secure,” said CRES President Heather Reams. “We look forward to working together to advance meaningful legislation that accelerates the deployment of innovative clean energy technologies and solidifies our nation’s role as a global energy leader. Looking to next year, CRES is uniquely equipped to leverage our relationships with Republicans in the executive and legislative branches to advance clean energy policies, reform our permitting system, protect commonsense clean energy tax credits, lower energy costs for American families and ensure U.S. energy innovations are not just developed but also deployed—all while addressing the challenge of climate change. Reducing emissions is not a red versus blue issue—it is a red, white and blue issue.”
