Replying to @CCLTriangle
@CCLTriangle Conservatives had a fantastic meeting today with @RepTedBudd's (soon to be "Senator Budd") office today! It was a pleasure to discuss ideas and priorities and feel "heard". We look forward to building a strong relationship with our new Senator!

The House just passed a bill to make the U.S. more competitive with China, by bolstering domestic supply chains and scientific research. We should also stay competitive on climate action. China has a #PriceOnPollution, and the U.S. needs to catch up. thehill.com/homenews/house/5…

I've pledged to make calling with @Enviro_Voter a regular thing. If any of my fellow volunteers at @citizensclimate or @ccltriangle wants to make it a party, I'll be calling battleground states on February 3rd, 8th, and 9th. Come join me!

"World's biggest #OffshoreWind developers eyeing #Louisiana for Gulf's first turbines" "#Texas has stronger winds but #LA offers more #political support" Hi @GovAbbott perhaps you could bring these new #renewable #energy #jobs to #TX ? #TXLege nola.com/news/environment/ar…

World's biggest offshore wind developers eyeing Louisiana for Gulf's first turbines

The Texas coast may have better winds for offshore wind development, but it’s Louisiana’s political winds that are drawing the interest of the industry’s two biggest players.

It should. #FossilFuels kill.
Paul Dawson 📚@PaulEDawson22 Jan 2022
8.7 million people die prematurely due to air pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Would talking about these deaths much more than we do increase the pressure on fossil fuel companies and governments to speed up the transition to clean energy? #ClimateAction

Great piece: "Solving the #climate crisis requires a myriad of solutions, of which a thoughtfully designed #CarbonTax is only one. Clean energy mandates, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and investments in marginalized communities are also necessary." planetdetroit.org/2022/01/op…

If you're among those who are alarmed about #ClimateChange but don't know what to do about it, we invite you to join a CCL chapter near you to find your voice and move Congress to enact effective solutions. citizensclimatelobby.org/blo…

Americans are more ready than ever to take climate action

Recent results from a Yale Program on Climate Change Communication study show that more Americans are alarmed about climate change than ever.

How about it, @SenatorRomney? A bipartisan stand-alone bill with Senator Whitehouse? #letsgo

The cost of inaction is too much to bear when it comes to the climate crisis. Each day we wait, we accrue more of the consequences. It’s time for bold climate action *now*.
