House Republicans Release Policy Pillars For Addressing Climate Change

As part of House Republican Leaders Commitment with America, U.S. House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), House Select Committee on Climate GOP Leader Garret Graves (R-LA), and others from the Energy, Climate, and Conservation (ECC) Task Force announced a six-part plan to tackle the ongoing energy crisis and the global climate challenge.

The plan includes the following policy pillars:

• Unlock American Resources

• Let America Build

• American Innovation

• Beat China and Russia

• Conservation with a Purpose

• Build Resilient Communities

“The pillars that make up House Republicans’ six-part energy, climate, and conservation plan embrace a fundamental reality that is necessary to achieve an effective and durable policy – namely, our approach must balance our environment, energy, and economic needs. Policies that fail to achieve this balance will fail,” said ConservAmerica President Jeff Kupfer. “By putting forward a platform that seeks to unlock American resources, the plan would allow us to tackle our energy and conservation challenges from a position of strength, where we can fully leverage our technological know-how and innovative capacity to drive emissions reductions, fortify our economy and bolster our energy security.”
