WASHINGTON, D.C. — As climate change is becoming a bigger topic on the election trail and in society, Illinois’ 12th district Congressmen weighed in on the issue at a telephone town hall Thursday.

Rep. Mike Bost says he is not opposed to using renewable energy sources, everyone in the world has to be on board with the changes.

Bost says to keep energy affordable, there must be a combination of renewable and non-renewable energy used until the facts are there to know the best route moving forward.
