Louie J. Campos will address climate change
In “A crystal clear choice on climate change” (Oct. 13), a Bee
editorial says Hillary Clinton is the obvious choice for anyone who cares about
climate change. The editorial points out that the issue has been ignored “by far
too many Republicans in Congress, and now by their nominee for president.”
Yet,
The Bee has endorsed Devin Nunes to represent the 22nd Congressional District.
Unlike eight of his Republican colleagues, who have joined the House Climate Solutions Caucus, Nunes is unlikely to support
policies to fight climate change.
For
example, he has voted to prevent the military from preparing for climate change. Also, he has
written that a carbon tax or carbon fee-and-dividend (proposed by what he calls
environmental extremists) will damage the economy.
Instead,
Nunes advocates “massive investment” in the development of all energy sources,
“including oil, gas, coal and nuclear power plants.” With its emphasis on fossil
fuels, this sounds just like the America First Energy Plan promoted by Donald
Trump a few months ago.
A
climate voter in the 22nd district will find a better candidate in Louie J. Campos,a Democrat who is committed to addressing climate change.
