In this episode of "The Right Voices," C3 Solutions Co-Founder John Hart chats with Congressman Frank Lucas about responsible energy solutions that everyone can support.
As anyone following the issues of climate change and the environment knows, the political landscape is changing. What was once a topic dominated by the center-left has now been embraced by conservatives and Republicans alike. The most recent example was the launching just last month of the Conservative Climate Caucus.
Rep. Lucas joined the Climate Caucus, driven by his first-hand experience farming.
“I come at this subject matter not just as a member of Congress, but as a farmer… weather patterns are changing. As a farmer, a rancher, I watch the rainfall very closely, watch the weather patterns, how much grass we produce, what kind of crops we can raise, when we can plant, and when we can harvest, and weather patterns are changing. Now, I think it’s important to acknowledge that weather patterns are changing because of global industrial activity.”
While changing weather patterns may seem challenging, Lucas believes that we “can’t just put [our] head in the sand. [We’ve] got to respond.”
