Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander this week unveiled a Republican alternative to the Green New Deal that puts the spotlight on federal clean energy research.
The plan comes as other conservatives on Capitol Hill have been talking up innovation as a solution to climate change—and as a counteroffer to the much-hyped Green New Deal.
Yet the focus on federal research makes perfect sense for Alexander, a moderate and a longtime proponent of a Department of Energy national laboratory in his home state.
Could someone explain whether THAT used in 1st paragraph is correct and what YET is explaning in 3rd paragraph??
