Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger, which
announced the company’s support on October 1 for the climate change
provisions of the reconciliation bill, today said he is pleased
with the progress on both the Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs
Act and the Build Back Better Act framework, and encourages
Congress to pass the legislation quickly. Linebarger issued the
following statement:
“We are pleased with the progress that’s been
made on the Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act and the Build
Back Better Act and encourage Congress to quickly pass the
legislation, which contains important provisions to combat climate
change. Passage of the infrastructure bill, and movement on the
Build Back Better climate provisions ahead of the UN Climate
Conference that begins next week would send a strong signal to
global political and business leaders that the U.S. is committed to
being part of a concerted effort to combat climate change, which is
an existential threat facing us all.
The path to a decarbonized and sustainable
future requires the engagement of everyone including government,
businesses of all sizes, as well as communities and
individuals.
The decarbonization investments in both bills
are critical to accelerating the adoption of innovations that can
reduce emissions across the United States and set us on a path to a
more sustainable future. We encourage Congress to act quickly and
pass both pieces of legislation.”
