In this video interview with the Wall Street Journal
Mitch McConnell, Republican leader in the US Senate, says the following:

I think energy is an area
where there is potential for a bipartisan accomplishment of some consequence?You
know, nobody thinks it’s a bad idea to reduce carbon emissions, the question
is, how do you do it?… Most people on both sides of the aisle are very
enthusiastic about plug-in cars, nuclear power?clean coal technology.

 

For an alternative point of view from one of those “nobodies” who “thinks it’s a bad idea to reduce carbon emission” see this article by University of Houston endowed professor of space architecture Larry Bell from Forbes Magazine. Bell is the author of the forthcoming book Climate of Corruption.
