Biden Adopted Vague ‘30 by 30’ Conservation Plan From 'Radical Environmental Groups,' Nebraska Governor Says

President Joe Biden's proposed plan to conserve 30% of America’s land by 2030 lacks needed details, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts says. The Biden administration has not provided details on how it intends to accomplish the goal, but enough is known about Biden’s " 30 by 30” conservation initiative to know that it won't serve the best interests of the American people, the Republican governor says. "Right now, 97% of Nebraska is privately owned, and if you wanted to set aside 30% of this in conservation you would drive up land prices [and] make it more difficult for young people to get into production agriculture," Ricketts says "You would certainly drive up food prices [and] you'd drive up property taxes." Ricketts joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the implications of Biden’s "30 by 30" initiative. The governor also discusses disturbing sex-education standards proposed by the Nebraska Department of Education and what parents can do to push back on leftist policies being implemented in their children’s schools.
