Speaker Kevin McCarthy said: “Let's replace Russian natural gas with American natural gas and let's not only have a cleaner world, let's have a safer world.”
The GOP is searching for a response to sweltering summers, weather disasters and rising sea levels that doesn't involve abandoning its enthusiastic support for American-produced energy from burning oil, coal and gas.
Republicans are moving away from climate change skepticism, instead promoting tree planting as a solution that won’t infringe on energy production. Environmental scientists have called the idea a distraction from cutting emissions from fossil fuels.
