GOP MUST RETHINK VIEWS
October 15, 2023
“CA’s Kevin McCarthy must take action on climate change,” (fresnobee.com, Oct. 8)
Young people are demanding action on climate change. I hope that conservative leaders will recognize the importance of the youth vote and promote policies that help combat climate change.The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, “the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history,” passed the Senate with no Republican votes.
However, its generous tax credits have spurred private investment in solar and wind energy, and many of its clean energy projects are benefitting states whose senators voted against the act.
Perhaps with pressure from young voters, those conservative senators are now rethinking their stance on climate change and what to do about it.
