Mike Lee on Pulling out of Climate Accords: I Hate to See Us Harm Our Own Economy

‘Through innovation, through technology, through free market processes, we managed to reduce emissions’

EXCERPT:

LEE: "When the United States commits to something it abides by the rule of law. When other countries do the same it doesn’t necessarily have the same effect. When we tie ourselves to an agreement internationally, we know that other agreements might not abide by their limits. When we ourselves tighten to — we know that we will to ours. I hate to see us harm our own economy by agreeing to something that other people we're agreeing with are going to fold."
