House Republicans on April 19 outlined their stance on climate change and reducing global emissions, advocating for developing clean U.S. energy resources without sacrificing American energy independence and American jobs. Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), ranking member of the House Select Climate Committee, said Republicans want to further reduce emissions around the world and protect the environment by exporting the United States’ cleanest energy.
“And at the heart of this—American innovators, domestic resources, and free markets,” said Graves in a video summary of GOP view on climate change and clean energy. “We must utilize these tools in a way that enhances the American workers’ competitiveness and improves our energy and national security.”
