Navigating the Political Divide: A Conversation with Nick Begich

She was a big supporter of it. What's your stance on it? Well, this is part of the problem with Congress. One of the many problems that you see in Congress is that these bills are not named properly. That is not the Inflation Reduction act. It is the inflation Creation act. And the bill has been called the greatest climate change bill by the Democrats. Al Gore has said it. Joe Biden himself has said it. It has nothing to do with reducing inflation. It has everything to do with a climate agenda that, again, puts Alaska last. It deprioritizes traditional energy, oil and gas, things that we need in this state to be able to heat our homes and to power our future. (06:38–07:01)
