Republicans for Environmental Protection
· “Today, the sad remnants of our once-proud Republican Party ignore the idea of conservation and
environmental protection, which were traditional hallmarks of the true conservatives who made up
the Republican Party for well over a hundred years. Sadly, there is nothing left for us “Green Republicans”
in today’s GOP. But here, on this website, we’ve chosen to preserve the record of how for fifteen
years we did our best to save both our country’s natural resources and our party’s long and proud
tradition of protecting them.”

· Platform
· The 2024 Republican Platform contains neither the word "climate" nor a direct reference to
environmental issues.
· A section on "Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy" states: “Republicans will increase Energy
Production across the board, streamline the permitting process, and end market-distorting
restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal. The Republican Party will once again make America
Energy Independent, and then Energy Dominant, lowering Energy prices even below the record lows
achieved during President Trump’s first term.
