The plan to be released Thursday is the product of an "energy, climate, and conservation task force" created by top House Republican Kevin McCarthy last year. | Tasos Katopodis/Getty ImagesHouse Republicans are preparing to release a six-part strategy to try to tame surging gasoline prices and to combat climate change that calls for increasing production of all types of energy and sets no greenhouse gas targets.
“We are creating a clear coherent energy strategy that returns the U.S. to an emissions reduction trajectory as opposed to what we are seeing under the Biden administration, which is failing every test, whether it be affordability, emissions or security,” Rep., the chair of the 17-member task force, told POLITICO in an exclusive interview previewing the plan.
The strategy is consistent with McCarthy’s effort in recent years to develop the party’s climate change platform and messaging to challenge Democrats and the Biden administration, with an eye toward winning support from young people and suburban voters who polls show are increasingly concerned worried about the issue.
The task force report, shared with POLITICO, contains six pillars: “Unlock America’s Resources,” “Beat China and Russia,” “Let America Build,” “Build Resilient Communities,” “American Innovation” and “Conservation with a Purpose.”well-trodden policy ideas such as promoting domestic production and export of “all of the above” energy resources, including oil and gas, along with zero-carbon technologies such as wind, solar, small modular nuclear reactors, hydrogen and carbon capture.
Lol what
What's the saying, that the world isn't dying, it's being killed, and the killers have names and addresses.
The Republicans don't have a strategy except to keep Americans afraid. They're real good at telling stories about the boogeyman.
Oh? Now they are interested in the environment since the spotlight is on weapons and high gas/food prices. How about caring about gun background checks, punishment to those elected Republicans who took part in to Capitol Insurrection, reversing book bans, and term limits.
The GOP plan: make climate change worse.
I guess there was a How to Copy & Paste Republican Talking Points class at whatever J school Politico hires from.
Republicans are running non stop comedy skits - but the end results are NOT FUNNY
A strategy to change climate more rapidly.
This sounds more like a rebuke towards climate change rather than a strategy
colek123 Well, they are making the climate change - I guess noone specifically asked which direction If the strategy is to make great swaths of the planet inhabitable
So their strategy is bring on the heat? No surprises here
So, I guess they're just trying to do a system restore to 1960 then?
I fixed it for those who don't seem to use quotes for scientifically-problematic 'strategies': With their eye[s] on midterms, House Republicans [prepare] to release a six-part climate chang[ing] strategy on Thursday[:] [I]ncreasing production of 'all types' of energy [....]
So, it’s a “make the planet uninhabitable for our children” climate strategy!
That should help change the climate
Oh this should be good. “The second amendment is the only way to fix catastrophic climate change and defend ourselves against tyrannical weather events”
In other words, gop and LeaderMcConnell are still beholden to big oil. Time to move to 100% renewables. ClimateCrisis ClimateEmergency VoteBlueIn2022
In other words “Let them all Burn, For Profit for a few is our God” GOPClimateChange
Lol wut?
Insane
This is the only plan any of us should be focused on. It must be done. Forget all the damn politicians. It is going to get very frightening for us all.
Sooooooo…. climate change for the worse?
WTF - Completely unclear and confused about climate change!
...and puts money in their pockets There, fixed it for you
Should be just as substantive as their health care plan.
So their climate change strategy is to pay their fossil fuel donors to change the climate faster? 😀
Wonder what can go wrong
House Republicans preparing a six-part climate catastrophe strategy.
FYI, Republicans are releasing a list of things they have no intention on doing. Lies they speak to win & keep the money coming. VoteBlueIn2022 AmericaNeedsMoreBlue BlueIsBeautiful ThinkBlue VoteBlue DemocratsForAmerica
Sounds like the climate change they want is unsurvivable heat levels as quickly as possible.
So let me guess, basically they’re going to fuck up any efforts made so far to address the effects of something that they’ve chose to ignore for decades .
So their plan is to ignore that it exists
Vote every Republican out of office
shorter republicans: Burn it all down.
A midterm election ploy by the scummy GOP that does nothing to actually make a difference, developed at the behest of their blood-sucking masters in the oil and gas business.
They can …
So they will continue to kill off our planet and will continue to fund and support the mass murders of kids and make sure guns are still as easy as buying milk. Got it!
So, by “climate change strategy” they actually mean a strategy to change the climate more Hmm. Bizarre.
So their strategy is to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t matter?
ClimateChange⬆️EmmissionByGOP
98cowboys So they are going to step on the climate gas pedal...of course...
This is garbage GOP. You based your climate plan on burning unlimited fossil fuels which is the primary cause of climatechange and almost all of you don't even believe it's real. VoteBlueToSaveHumanity
Are you seriously going to let them lie and call this a climate change strategy? Or tell the truth? They count on the media to swallow their 🐂💩and regurgitate it.
It's just: 'Fu€k the planet, Jesus is coming' written six times
They're just going to shoot at the climate
Lol ok
Can't wait to see the size of that binder! makebelieve
Republican Climate change strategy?
DBChirpy Is that going to be like Trumps infrastructure week? As in never going to see the day of light.
Duh. So f0?kin stupud. So GOP
Does it include guns? Forcing victims to carry their rapist baby? Or shoving their religion down our throats? Don’t hold your breath.
Oh I'm so excited! I can't wait for GOP to introduce their climate change strategy... ...wait a minute...this is the same party who promised the bestest health plan in 2 weeks. 🤣😂🤣 SaveAmericaVoteBlue
So their plan is to make climate change worse.
Then how is that a plan?
Heezadick
Lets save time and toss it in the 🗑 now.
BAHAHAHAHAHA Their WHAT?
When we said 'climate change plan' we didn't mean 'plan on how to cause it'
JonathanLanday Burning it all down.
What a joke.
WTF does this 'strategy' (like, this is new?) have to do with climate change?
So a 'let's destroy the climate' climate strategy.
🙄
A climate destruction plan. More of the same nonsense from them. No thanks.
In other words, nothing
Much better policy aimed at the public and reality.
So NO climate change strategy. Guess the GOP thinks they won’t be the ones that are affected—just EVERYONE ELSE in the world. 🤦♀️
The strategy is to cause even more damage?
🕊🕊🕊
Pt. 1: Do nothing. Pt. 2-6: See Pt. 1.
Oh, so it’s a strategy for *accelerating* climate change. Got it!
They don't give a damn. They just throw things against the wall and hope it sticks. I mean they could just throw a rock and hit any uninformed voter.
Their strategy is to increase the change of the climate.
So their climate change strategy is 'whatever gets us elected no matter how stupid or dangerous or shitty' got it
The 'strategy' of GOP* sucking up to the 1% global oilygarchy? That 'strategy'? SO BRAVE! ClimateCrisis
They have realized that most of their followers will be fooled if they put some words together and call it a climate strategy. The words are optional, as long as there is a good acronym.
So no real plan at all. Sounds typical for them.
This is how the billionaire owned, pro GOP media helps the Republicans. IGNORES McCarthy's refusal to abide by a lawful subpoena from the 1/6 committee so that they can help Republicans spread their midterm message. We have no journalists in America, just paid liars.
So…there is a caravan of immigrants heading our way to change the climate and we need to build a wall in order to pass another trickle down tax cut? Yay. Praise the Lloyd.
So the GOP ‘s response to climate change is to make it worse. Got it. GOPAntiLife
One of the most glaring problems with Christians. They don't care about this planet at all. This is all just a temporary stop for them until they get to live happily ever after with white Jesus, shooting AR-15s together.
I care about food on my table, and gas in my car. Not climate change. And, with what I understand we have the cleanest air of any nation in the world.
Steps 1-3: Accept as much money as humanly possible from engery/fossil fuel special interests. Step 4: Vote down any bills with a focus on positive plans to combat climate change. Step 5: Blame Biden, Democrats and China. Step 6: Push the narrative on Con media outlets.
'In leaning too much into fossil fuels to counter Biden’s more aggressive climate agenda, Republicans risk turning off swing voters' LOL! Couple more months of rising gas prices oughta do it.
