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…

"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…

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

“‘If you’re serious about climate, put a price on carbon,’ said Senator Mitt Romney of Utah.” Agreed! nytimes.com/2022/01/20/clima…

‘Build Back Better’ Hit a Wall, but Climate Action Could Move Forward (Published 2022)
