thanks for posting that- I’ll post the email his office sent- it sounded like in the email he was for regulations, but not the ‘dracononian regulations’ of the obmama administration
“Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding the issue of climate change. Input from constituents significantly informs my decision-making and empowers me to better represent the state.
Many proposed legislative and regulatory remedies for climate change are draconian and would undermine job creation, raise electric rates and gasoline prices, and make American manufacturing less competitive. Ironically, they do little to reduce global production of greenhouse gases. I am committed to responsible environmental stewardship, but I cannot support measures that undermine our individual and economic freedoms by placing more control of our economy in the hands of unelected bureaucrats.
Texans have proven that we can have a strong economy and protect the environment, but they have also seen how the overbearing hand of federal environmental policy can harm jobs and opportunity. For these reasons, I oppose the proposals of President Obama, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and some in Congress to limit greenhouse gases without regard to jobs and the economy.
Thank you again for sharing your views with me. Please feel free to contact me in the future about any issue important to your family. It is an honor to serve you and the people of Texas.”
I wasn’;t too encouraged after reading that reply- sounded to me like he supports some kind of climate change/polution regulations
No, it actually sounds like he supports common-sense protection of the environment. I am old enough to remember the bad-old-days of the chronic smog alerts of the 70's, and I don't want to go back to that. But he says nothing in that message to support the idea that he believes in "climate change" regulations of any kind.
You don’t believe in mitigating pollution? Global Warming/Climate Change and Pollution are not necessarily the same thing. The smog in the Los Angeles area used to put me on the ground gasping during my childhood. That wasn’t some scam, that was real.
