Trying to rope in an entire platform of literally dozens of other issues completely derails the effort, and it signals to the rest of society that it’s not actually about the environment to these people, which it often isn’t.”Backer argues that the highly publicized debates over divisive and widely unpopular “climate justice” initiatives like the Green New Deal have done material damage to the environmentalist cause, distracting from bipartisan policies that could pass with support from across the political spectrum, such as modernizing America’s energy grid, giving tax credits to renewable energy, and a range of other sustainable policy inducements. “The future is in clean technology and innovation-based solutions to climate change,” he says. “We want to make it very apparent that this is not just a liberal issue. This is something that conservatives have talked about for a very long time.”generally,somethingPhotograph by John Greim/LightRocket via Getty Images.Like this postShare this postMeet the Young Conservatives Pushing Market-Based Climate Solutions thedispatch.comCopy linkTwitterFacebookEmail49 CommentsFor your security, we need to re-authenticate you.Click the link we sent to , or .Expand full commentExpand full commentNo posts© 2022 The Dispatch ∙ ∙ &nbsp;is the home for great writingThis site requires JavaScript to run correctly.
