Garrett Graves who has championed stronger action by Republicans on climate change. without“Our continued innovation through these unrivaled investments — not new federal taxes, regulations and mandates — is the only way to deliver solutions that not only further reduce U.S. emissions,” said Rep. Graves, “but also provide affordable and exportable solutions needed to reduce global emissions.
