Republican Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon was criticized this week for vowing to make his state — one of the largest fossil fuel-producing states in the country — 'carbon negative.'
Republican Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon is facing criticism for his recent comments pledging to reduce his state's carbon emissions and saying there was urgency to addressing the 'warming climate.' Gordon made the comments during a talk at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics in Massachusetts Monday, promoting the 'Decarbonizing the West' initiative he established in his role as chairman of the Western Governors’ Association.
Frankly, I was embarrassed,' Bear told Fox News Digital in an interview. 'I was embarrassed that our chief executive would go to a pro-Hamas, pro-China school and appease an anti-fossil fuel crowd. I was embarrassed that someone who campaigned as a conservative is ready to close the coffin on coal, oil and gas in his state. He has given in to the AOC and Al Gore hysteria that is, in fact, disputed science.
Unlike the majority of people on both sides of the energy debate, Governor Gordon is bringing honesty to this conversation by thinking about pragmatic solutions that encompass both our fossil fuel portfolio and emerging energy technologies. 'However you feel about this debate, there is consensus that the U.S. and the world will need more energy, not less. With Governor Gordon's leadership in the West, we will meet that demand.
