You suggestions are not conservative.

The engine of innovation is the fed doing basic research. That’s the way its always been. Not till applied research does private money come in. On opening up more of the southwest to agriculture and development byo bringing in more water — there used to be western republicans like herbert hoover who understood this stuff. But they have long since been voted out.
But on your basic point. Yeah I agree, my suggestions are not conservative.
But you saw the 2018 elections as well as I did. It was shocking to see texas go purple. Trump cannot win in 2020 on his base. He has to do something to attract the squish 15% in the middle. This green stuff, if you delete out all the mandates, taxes, regulations and such is the safest way to win them over.
But maybe you think its better to be a purist.
No its not the way its always been. Companies and guys in their garages are the drivers of innovation
