Former South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis is pushing what he calls a conservative approach to our nation’s energy challenges. Why does he reject the president’s recent call for more investment in green technologies? Why does he want to slap major oil companies with higher taxes and fees? How would he prevent those companies from passing the costs along to us? Why does he believe that global warming does exist and is largely caused by human activity? And why does he consider the energy policies advocated by other self-proclaimed conservatives as ‘populist poppycock’. We ask Rep. Bob Inglis, a six-term member of Congress, who was defeated for re-election by a Tea Party primary challenger in 2010.
