A freshman House Republican known for his bill to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency and allegedly intimidating former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen is seeking a new claim to fame: the party's leading voice on addressing climate change.
"History will judge harshly my Republican colleagues who deny the science of climate change," Gaetz said during a press conference."Similarly those Democrats who would use climate change as a basis to regulate out of existence the American experience will face the harsh reality that their ideas will fail."Gaetz's Green Real Deal — distinct from a plan of the same name proposed by former Energy Department officials — includes four major platforms to spur innovation.
Gaetz's proposal is one of several alternatives to the Green New Deal. It most closely aligns with a 10-point plan proposed by Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. Positioned as a"new Manhattan Project for clean energy," Alexander's plan calls for ramping up research and development into new technologies.
Matt Gaetz is nuts.
Government subsidizing of startups is biased towards companies that can jump through all the regulatory and screening hoops rather than the most innovative ones.
