Beto O'Rourke Calls For A 'Moonshot' To Combat Climate Change

With climate activists cheering on the Green New Deal, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke is borrowing a different allusion from American history.

“We’ve called for … an investment commensurate with John F. Kennedy’s moonshot,” O’Rourke told NPR. “We’re going to invest in the technologies that will allow us to lead the world on this. It should be happening right here in the United States.”
