House Republicans Release Policy Pillars For Addressing Climate Change

“The pillars that make up House Republicans’ six-part energy, climate, and conservation plan embrace a fundamental reality that is necessary to achieve an effective and durable policy – namely, our approach must balance our environment, energy, and economic needs. Policies that fail to achieve this balance will fail,” said ConservAmerica President Jeff Kupfer. “By putting forward a platform that seeks to unlock American resources, the plan would allow us to tackle our energy and conservation challenges from a position of strength, where we can fully leverage our technological know-how and innovative capacity to drive emissions reductions, fortify our economy and bolster our energy security.”

As part of House Republican Leaders Commitment with America, U.S. House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), House Select Committee on Climate GOP Leader Garret Graves (R-LA), and others from the Energy, Climate, and Conservation (ECC) Task Force announced a six-part plan to tackle the ongoing energy crisis and the global climate challenge.

The plan includes the following policy pillars:

  • Unlock American Resources

  • Let America Build

  • American Innovation

  • Beat China and Russia

  • Conservation with a Purpose

  • Build Resilient Communities
