CHASE OLIVER: It sounds great to say that we could just magically pass a bill and stop using less carbon and lower the carbon output. But that's just not the way it's going to work. Government involvement stifles innovation. We need to let the marketplace innovate: quit over-regulating green technology. We can fight climate change; that doesn't require massive government action; it doesn't require carbon caps or new government programs. It just requires us to buckle down and American innovation will develop the technologies. In the meantime, government doesn't really have a role in deciding what technology is going to be developing in the next few years.
RAPHAEL WARNOCK: In the church, we call it "Creation Care": we ought to be kind to the earth because it's the only place that we have. I'm glad that we passed the Inflation Reduction Act which represents record investment in a green energy future.

RAPHAEL WARNOCK: In the church, we call it "Creation Care": we ought to be kind to the earth because it's the only place that we have. I'm glad that we passed the Inflation Reduction Act which represents record investment in green energy and a green energy future. I've been leading the way in the creation of electric vehicle infrastructure right here in the state of Georgia [making] batteries for cars. I've also led the way with creating sustainable aviation fuel. There's so many things we need to do and I'm very focused on that work.
