Proposals put forth by Washington Democrats to address climate change have largely been window dressing—they may make us feel good, but don’t amount to much in terms of reducing global emissions. This week, Senator Romney called on his colleagues to take a more effective approach that prioritizes investments which can lower emissions not only in the U.S., but in worse polluting countries like China. He also urged both parties to come together to work toward balancing the budget, applauded a major investment in Utah made possible by a China competition bill he supported, and met with several stakeholders from our state.

Democrats’ climate proposals are wildly expensive and might make us feel good, but they have little impact on actually lowering global emissions. At a Budget Committee hearing, Senator Romney urged the need for the U.S. to prioritize investments in innovation and technology to combat the effects of climate change, as opposed to feel-good efforts by Washington Democrats that don’t put a dent in lowering global emissions.
