Description
Check out this video to watch the Climate Realism, Energy Optimism: Unpolarizing Current Politics.
Former Congressional Representative Bob Inglis directs republicEn.org, a nationwide group of conservatives who care about climate change. He'll discuss how and why those with diverse political views are indispensable partners for action on climate, discussing how it might be possible to bring America together to lead the world on climate action.
Featuring Bob Inglis
Bob Inglis is the Executive Director of republicEn.org. He was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1992, having never run for office before. He represented Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, from 1993-1998, unsuccessfully challenged U.S. Senator Fritz Hollings in 1998, and then returned to the practice of commercial real estate law in Greenville, S.C. In 2004, he was re-elected to Congress and served until losing reelection in the South Carolina Republican primary of 2010.
In 2011, Inglis went full-time into promoting free enterprise action on climate change and launched the Energy and Enterprise Initiative (“E&EI”) at George Mason University in July 2012. In the fall of 2014, E&EI rebranded to become republicEn.org.
