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’s Todd Johnston. “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 economic resiliency and bolster our energy security.” ConservAmerica is a nonprofit organization that advocates for market-based solutions to conservation, environmental, and energy challenges.
