Republican Governors See Value in Green

Unlike members of the GOP vying for public office Republican governors see value in supporting the green economy. The GOP presidential candidates and Republican members of Congress are largely united in their resistance to climate change, but an increasing number of Republicans are bucking this trend. Climate denial is a defining feature of the GOP and de rigueur for any Republican seeking the presidential nomination. However, some Republican governors are adopting policies that promote the green economy. Clean energy policies have been implemented in all 50 states and 30 of those states have Republican governors.

The Ignorant Anti-Environmental Views of the Remaining GOP Presidential Candidates

A Republican President would be a devastating blow to the environment and the green economy. Mitt Romney's primary victories in Michigan and Arizona at the end of February solidifies his status as the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination. However, although Romney's stated environmental views make him the best of the four evils, like the rest of the field of GOP presidential candidates, he can best be described as anti-environment.
