Issue Position: Energy & Environment

Issue Position

Congress should be working on policies to safeguard our environment AND our economy. That's why I'm working on serious solutions to protect American jobs, our economic prosperity, and reduce emissions all at once.

I proposed legislation called the New Energy Frontier as part of the Republican environmental plan. This bill takes carbon capture -- which we have pioneered here in Texas -- and encourages further innovation so we can market this technology to the world to tackle GLOBAL emissions.

Unlike the Green New Deal, I'm focused on solutions and not just slogans. We do not need a socialist takeover of our entire economy in order to protect the environment. What we need is to encourage American innovators to develop a clean, all-of-the-above energy strategy that will allow us to continue emissions reductions and historic economic growth.
