Inslee: ‘The GOP has abandoned all logic’ | In an interview with Grist’s David Roberts, climate hawk Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) attacked Republicans who have prevented the federal government from setting limits on carbon pollution and letting market competition play out in the energy sector. “Good, all-American, red-blooded capitalists should let the market work,” he said, but “the GOP has abandoned all logic when it comes to the third law of thermodynamics.” (To be pedantic, Inslee probably meant to refer to the second law.)
