You’ve seen the ads. Sen. John Curtis touts his support for green energy. Important for Utah’s future, he tells us. Then he urges us to thank him for working hard to support renewable energy in Utah.
But what did he just do? He just voted to end Biden’s green energy tax credits, subsidies, and other initiatives. He even voted to promote the extraction and use of fossil fuels — including coal. And because of his vote (and, yes, his lone heroic vote could have stopped this) green energy jobs will now move from the U.S. to China as China surges ahead as the world’s foremost leader in green energy technology, already accounting for 74% of green energy projects worldwide, according to the Economist.
Don’t thank Sen. Curtis for his support of green energy. Condemn him for his stunning cowardice and betrayal.
Come on, Utah. Surely, we can do better than this guy.
