He could always run as a Democrat, because he is one.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

He is honestly naive about climate change and the future.

Thank Goodness. Now if we could get a few actual conservative GOP members to step up.

I guess the theme on the bot farm tonight is "He's not a Republican". He was literally the Republican nominee for President a few years ago, so the voters disagree 🤡🤡

Mitt Romney has voted in favor of fossil fuels 93 times since he joined the Senate in 2019. This includes votes to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, open up more public lands to oil and gas drilling, and block regulations on methane emissions from oil and gas production.

Romney has also been a vocal critic of climate change legislation, calling it "a liberal wish list" and arguing that it would hurt the economy. However, he has also acknowledged that climate change is a real threat and that the United States needs to take action to address it.

In a 2022 essay, Romney wrote that "we must recognize that fossil fuels will continue to play a role in our energy mix" but that the United States also needs to invest in clean energy technologies. He has also called for a carbon tax, which would put a price on carbon emissions and discourage their use.
