In this mention

Dr. Neha Pathak argues that pending congressional infrastructure and climate legislation, particularly the Clean Electricity Payment Program (CEPP), represents a health crisis response as much as an energy policy. She emphasizes that climate change impacts—including deadly heatwaves—are already harming Americans and that clean energy investments will yield immediate health benefits through reduced air pollution and fewer heat-related deaths, especially in low-income and communities of color.
