Ohio U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance is former President Trump’s running mate—picked Monday just two days after Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
But what do we know about Vance and his stands on energy? Politico’s The Hill reported Vance, the Republican from Ohio, is closely aligned with Trump when it comes to climate and environmental issues.
He not only calls electric vehicles a “scam” but has played down the threat of climate change.
As The Hill further reported, Vance hasn’t called climate change a “hoax” as the former President has done. But two years ago on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton national radio show, he didn’t support any suggestion of a “climate crisis we need to destroy the economy to deal with.”
He also said at one point in 2022, “I’m skeptical of the idea that climate change is caused purely by man.”
