With their eye on midterms, House Republicans are preparing to release a six-part climate change strategy on Thursday. The strategy calls for increasing production of all types of energy and sets no greenhouse gas targets.
The plan to be released Thursday is the product of an "energy, climate, and conservation task force" created by top House Republican Kevin McCarthy last year. | Tasos Katopodis/Getty ImagesHouse Republicans are preparing to release a six-part strategy to try to tame surging gasoline prices and to combat climate change that calls for increasing production of all types of energy and sets no greenhouse gas targets.
“We are creating a clear coherent energy strategy that returns the U.S. to an emissions reduction trajectory as opposed to what we are seeing under the Biden administration, which is failing every test, whether it be affordability, emissions or security,” Rep., the chair of the 17-member task force, told POLITICO in an exclusive interview previewing the plan.
The strategy is consistent with McCarthy’s effort in recent years to develop the party’s climate change platform and messaging to challenge Democrats and the Biden administration, with an eye toward winning support from young people and suburban voters who polls show are increasingly concerned worried about the issue.
The task force report, shared with POLITICO, contains six pillars: “Unlock America’s Resources,” “Beat China and Russia,” “Let America Build,” “Build Resilient Communities,” “American Innovation” and “Conservation with a Purpose.”well-trodden policy ideas such as promoting domestic production and export of “all of the above” energy resources, including oil and gas, along with zero-carbon technologies such as wind, solar, small modular nuclear reactors, hydrogen and carbon capture.
