Brittany Pettersen, D-Colorado, Harris recounted how she became environmentally conscious.
"We called it ecology at the time. So, some of us who were born around that time know what I’m saying. And we talked about it in the context of conservation," Harris said. She recalled one day coming home from school and asking her mother:"Why are conservatives bad, mommy?" "Because, I thought we were supposed to conserve," Harris said, laughing."I couldn’t reconcile it. Now I can." Monday marked Harris’ second visit to the Centennial State since she became vice president in 2021. Her nationwide tour to promote the Biden administration’s climate priorities began last year. The vice president has made previous stops in Minnesota, Michigan, California, Georgia, and Arizona.
The Biden administration has made fighting climate change a top priority, backed by the Inflation Reduction Act. The landmark bill, signed into law last year, accelerates the expansion of clean energy, such as wind and solar power, and aims to reduce the nation’s dependence on oil, coal, and natural gas according to the Biden administration.
