Yesterday, I visited Lake Mead, which is a crucial source of water for 25 million people, including those living in Nevada, California, and Arizona. Due to the climate crisis, Lake Mead has dropped to its lowest level ever–causing water shortages for some of these communities.
These shortages hurt our farmers, our food supply, and our economy. We don't have time to wait on this. @POTUS and I are working to pass our Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and our Build Back Better Agenda.
Together, these proposals would make the biggest investment in climate resilience in U.S. history and would tackle the climate crisis. We need to pass these bills—so that we can combat drought throughout the West, create good jobs, and preserve our planet for generations to come.
@VP You need to get on TV and spell this out. The public that need convincing aren’t here. The critical nature of what we are facing cannot be overstated.

@VP How will spending all of this money solve the water shortage……..the most abundant and the only renewable resource on the planet. Will someone/anyone figure how to move the water to where it needs to be instead of making the population move where the water is!
@VP can you be serious when you are speaking every time ?
@VP Just a simple thought: How about requiring everyone with a yard to plant some fruit trees & bushes, perennial vegetables, native flowers & grasses, & use vegetable plants as landscaping to help clean up the climate? Imagine less lawns, less mowing, more home grown food!
@VP You might as well rub a lamp if you are counting on Manchin to pass this bill.
@VP So madame Vice President, why aren't they getting it done?
