Republicans Offer ‘Climate Change’ Plan That Boosts Energy

How dare they offer a reasonable plan that lives in the real world rather than based on doomsday cult ravings!

House Republicans unveil energy and climate plan that would boost fossil fuels, hydropower

Republicans this week introduced a road map describing how they would mitigate rising gasoline prices and address climate change if the party wins control of the House of Representatives in the November midterms.

The plan arises from the energy, climate and conservation task force established last year by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and involves proposals that run counter to the warnings of climate scientists.

The strategy provides a broad overview of how the party would address high energy prices but doesn’t set specific greenhouse gas emission targets. It calls for ramping up fossil fuel production and liquefied natural gas exports, as well as streamlining the permitting process for major infrastructure projects, according to The Washington Post, which first reported the plan.

The agenda also endorses legislation to expand hydropower, one of the oldest and largest sources of renewable energy, and condemns policies that increase U.S. demand for critical minerals mined from China, which are necessary for electric vehicle and renewable energy production. In a document introducing the road map, House Republicans cited Department of Energy statistics showing that only 3% of the more than 80,000 dams in the U.S. currently generate electricity.

“If Republicans earn back the House majority in the fall, we will be ready to enact that strategy and ease the suffering of working Americans’ wallets,” Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., the task force chair, wrote in a blog post.

Well, really, this has zero chance of getting signed by Biden if the GOP passes it.

The GOP plans to unveil the six policy areas of their plan, called “Unlock American Resources,” “American Innovation,” “Let America Build,” “Beat China and Russia,” “Conservation with a Purpose” and “Build Resilient Communities,” over the next two months.

Well, I hope it includes nuclear power

Environmentalists and congressional Democrats argue the GOP plan is not only insufficient but would worsen the climate crisis.

Yeah, it sounds like it’s just including ‘climate change’ for the hell of it, but, then, the climate cultists plans aren’t really about climate, but, governmental power.
