Climate Change & Sustainable Infrastructure

Nasir Malik’s Vision for Building a More Sustainable Texas

The world is facing a monumental challenge, one that demands immediate attention and bold action: the climate crisis. Nasir Malik, a dedicated Democrat running for the Senate in Texas, is fully committed to addressing this existential threat head-on. Nasir understands the struggles faced by working families as natural disasters caused by climate change continue to impact our communities, and is determined to support legislation that protects our planet and the people on it.

We must build a climate-resilient state, and in order to do so, we must invest in building a more sustainable Texas. That means incentivizing the building of sustainable infrastructure in new government buildings, expediting construction of transmission lines to bring wind and solar power to our cities, and to require that 50% of the state’s electricity come from renewable sources by 2030 and 100% by 2050. As our next Senator, Nasir will also fight to add the cumulative effect on the public’s health and physical property as a criterion by which air emissions permits are evaluated. We must make sure that our communities are built around sustainable infrastructure that won’t harm our children and families.

A Genuine Commitment to Climate Action & Fixing the Grid

Nasir recognizes that the climate crisis is not a myth; it’s a reality fueled by human activity and the burning of fossil fuels. Texas, with its unique environmental vulnerabilities, is particularly susceptible to the devastating effects of climate change, including longer droughts and more severe storms. Nasir firmly believes that we must act now to combat this crisis.

Nasir believes in clamping down on price gouging during natural disasters and making sure the exorbitant costs incurred during the winter storm are not passed down onto consumers. He is committed to promoting weatherization and strengthening emergency planning to ensure stability during hurricanes and natural disasters.

Rejecting Fossil Fuel Influence

One of Nasir’s first and most crucial commitments is to lead by example and reject campaign funding from fossil fuel companies that have contributed to the climate crisis. By refusing their money, Nasir ensures that his actions will not be influenced by corporate interests that prioritize profits over the health of our planet. That’s why if elected, he would join other legislators seeking to reduce flaring and venting of methane gas which has caused health issues for Texans across the state, as well as protecting the health of our students by getting lead out of school drinking water and requiring public hearing for wells proposed within 1,500 feet of a child care facility or school.

Nasir Malik’s Climate Vision: A Path to a Sustainable Future

Nasir Malik’s vision for combating the climate crisis is nothing short of transformative. By rejecting corporate influence, prioritizing green energy, and investing in environmental justice, Nasir is demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the planet and its residents. His goal is not merely to mitigate the effects of climate change but to create a sustainable and equitable future for all Americans.

In a world where climate change threatens our very existence, Nasir Malik’s dedication to combating the crisis stands as a beacon of hope. By electing leaders like Nasir, we can work together to ensure a brighter and more sustainable future for Texas and the entire nation.
