Senator Whitehouse brilliantly outlines and exposes the incontrovertible, indisputable facts of the climate change that the fossil fuel industry is spending 10 times more money than renewable energy and all environmental groups combined to deny is damaging our world and is one of, if not the biggest drivers of inflation in the cost of everything, especially energy costs and home ownership and mortgage and insurance costs. And this is despite the fact that their own scientists have confirmed the fact our ever growing and profligate use of fossil fuels for our energy needs is the biggest driver of problematic climate change, and despite the fact that renewables such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and others are now the cheapest sources of energy available. In growing areas of the country, home insurance is unaffordable and, in some areas, unavailable at any cost mainly if not exclusively because of climate change driven environmental catastrophes. The supporting evidence of that could hardly be starker and more convincing! Denying the truth of all this is every bit as irrational and ignorant as denying that the earth is round or that the sun rises and sets every day!

June 25 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) tears down a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing as the unspooling of a fossil fuel-funded GOP fever dream.
--
Sheldon Whitehouse represents Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate, where he champions policies to uphold American leadership in the world, protect our planet in a changing climate, and hold the powerful accountable.
To underscore the Republicans irrationality concerning energy, they consider only fossil fuel energy in discussing and meeting our energy production and needs. They have even excluded renewable forms of energy from the very definition of energy!
