WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) today released the following statement in response to GM’s announcement that the company would be carbon neutral by 2040.

“Today’s announcement from GM demonstrates that members of the auto industry are committed to tackling the global climate crisis and decarbonizing the transportation sector. We have had discussions for months with the auto industry, labor unions, and the environmental community on concrete actions like this that must be taken to reach carbon neutrality,” said Congresswoman Dingell. “We have a lot of work ahead of us. As we transition towards our electrified future, I will continue to engage with all stakeholders to create an electric vehicle infrastructure to support these efforts and help our domestic auto industry compete globally. Even as we celebrate this announcement, we need to keep our focus on creating jobs, confronting climate change, and the transformation of an innovative mobility industry.”
