Top GOP leader urges nuclear & nat gas for climate change

- sharp contrast to @BernieSanders proposal to kill nuclear & nat gas

- CO2 declined more from fracking than would have from regulations

- next step is #GreenNuclearDeal

@BernieSanders “To be sure, the left and the media have lost their way propagating doomsday. But as countries like China continue to lead the rise in global emissions, prescribing nothing in the way of sensible environmental policy is a bad approach.”

Bravo @GOPLeader

As a Democrat who has been seeking bi-partisan solutions to climate change for over a decade, I was thrilled to see the statement by Leader McCarthy.

In Jan. I testified before the House. I pointed out that while there's no evidence supporting apocalyptic claims, climate change poses risks to societies & environments & that the best solution was a “Green Nuclear Deal”

h/t @subschneider @ScottAdamsSays

@subschneider @ScottAdamsSays McCarthy points to research by my organization, Environmental Progress, which found that electricity prices in renewables-heavy California rose seven times more than they did the rest of the US

“We can’t afford to enact these radical policies across the country,” said @GOPLeader

US electricity sector emissions decreased 34 percent from 2005 to 2019, including an astonishing 10 percent in 2019, which is the largest year-on-year decline in history

By contrast, the Obama administration’s proposed carbon regulation of the power sector, the “Clean Power Plan,” proposed emissions reductions of 32 percent — by 2030.

@BernieSanders "It is past time for conservatives to point out the flawed reasoning of radical environmentalists. Their dogmatic obsession with wind-and-solar-only leads them to foolishly denounce carbon-free nuclear power"
