Clean. Innovative. American.
Conservatives have real solutions to solve the climate challenge. ClearPath Action helps craft and message those solutions. Check out Republican’s six point plan.
Innovation and creating jobs is just part of who we are. And thanks to innovation, America has reduced its emissions by more than any other country in the last 20 years. We did this through new American technology, research at the Department of Energy, and strong bipartisan support.
We need to double down and get more American innovations to market.
We need to build cleaner, faster. Clean energy and grid modernization present tremendous economic opportunities, but burdensome and outdated regulations mean that new projects take five years on average to come online.
We have to move faster by enacting common sense reforms to the permitting process.
American manufacturing is the cleanest in the world with the highest environmental standards. Unfortunately, countries like China and Russia don’t have the same standards.
We can restore American manufacturing leadership in industries like steel and concrete by strengthening our own supply chains and eliminating dependence from countries that don’t meet our environmental standards.
A new industrial revolution is going to require an enormous amount of resources like lithium, copper, cobalt, graphite, and nickel. Currently, we are too dependent on countries like China to supply our needs.
This dependence increases emissions and handicaps American businesses. We have to make it easier to safely supply manufacturers with American-made materials and employ American workers.
As conservatives, we plan ahead. When it comes to natural disasters, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. One dollar invested now equals six dollars after the disaster.
We can help take common sense measures and make sound investments that make our communities and farms more resistant to natural disasters like floods, fires and droughts.
Crop production depends on access to healthy soil, adequate water supplies and predictable weather conditions, all of which are more difficult to manage as the climate changes.
Natural climate solutions – planting trees and farming practices that improve soil health – have a major impact on reducing carbon emissions while making forests and farms more resilient to floods and fires. They are also profitable.
Farmers, ranchers, foresters and fishermen will all tell you the weather is different today than it was when they were younger, and their jobs have gotten harder.
Look, the climate is changing, and global industrial activity is contributing. We hear that from the oil & gas industry, power companies, and our friends in agriculture. Everyone is clear: it’s time to talk about solutions.
We can’t damage our economy in our efforts. And the good news is, we don’t have to. There are exciting opportunities, but it has to be based on reality and protect America’s workforce.
If we reduce emissions at home, and countries like China and Russia don’t, what have we really accomplished?
