Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney has joined the new Senate Climate Change Caucus, saying that it will take “significant private sector investments” and innovation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and switch to more green energy.
The bipartisan group, formed in late October, plans to focus on finding solutions that would attack climate change in a way that is “durable, equitable and supportive of the American economy,” according to the caucus. The caucus held its first meeting this week with industry executives.
“Addressing climate change is going to require significant private sector investments and a major global breakthrough in innovation and technology,” Romney, R-Utah, said in a statement.
