In this episode of The Sustainable Angler, I interview former U.S. Congressman and Executive Director of republicEn Bob Inglis. We cover a lot of ground, but we focus on how a Republican Congressman became concerned about climate change; the hidden costs of fossil fuels; the conflict of faith and science when it comes to climate change; how America can lead the way in solving the climate crisis with a free enterprise system via a carbon tax; and how climate change is the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century. Hope you enjoy!
For those of you not familiar with republicEn, this is from their site: “we are a group of energy optimists and climate realists. Members of republicEn are conservatives, libertarians, and pragmatists of diverse political opinion. We stand together because climate change is real, and we believe it’s our duty and opportunity to reduce the risks. We believe in the power of American free enterprise to deliver the innovation to solve climate change.“
