A climate report that advocates for the U.S. to dramatically reduce vehicle ownership and move to dense cities to combat climate change is raising alarm bells for a top congressional Republican.
A climate report from university and think tank researchers with ties to the Department of Energy that advocates for the U.S. to dramatically reduce vehicle ownership — gas-powered and electric cars alike — and move to dense cities to combat climate change is raising alarm bells for a top congressional Republican.
“The notion that the federal government should tell people where to live or how to get around is on its face ridiculous,” Mr. Barrasso, Wyoming Republican, wrote in a letter to Ms. Granholm on Wednesday that was first reported by The Washington Times. “People live in Wyoming because they want to get away from federal overreach, not to have Washington bureaucrats dictate their lifestyles.”
DOE is an official research partner of UC Davis’ Energy and Efficiency Institute. Three of the eight reports’ authors are UC Davis staff members. He requested that Ms. Granholm address a list of questions by March 17, including what Ms. Baker’s role is as a Climate and Community Project member and if she had any involvement in the report.
