Hi Larry! Our Government Affairs staff has been in close communication with Environment and Public Works and Energy and Natural Resources Committee staff on both sides of the aisle throughout the negotiations around today’s legislation, so we are already aware of many provisions included.

📣 We've been asking, and Congress has answered! A bipartisan group of Senators just announced a MAJOR permitting reform package. Federal permitting reform is vital to get clean energy built and connected to the grid faster. citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/policy/...

Part 1 of our Carbon Pricing Education Series in partnership with @rff.org is available now! 👉 cclusa.org/session1 This first session provided a baseline foundation for carbon pricing for both total newbies and seasoned carbon pricing advocates.
Quote from Dr. Marc Hafstead, Carbon Pricing Fellow at Resources for the Future and Director of RFF's Carbon Pricing Initiative. Quote: "It's reasonable to say that carbon pricing is, with a few exceptions, the most cost-effective way of reducing emissions, especially at a moderate to large scale."

It's not fair that those who have done the least to cause climate change are facing climate impacts like these. That's why we're pushing Congress to act. The U.S. is responsible for nearly 5 billion metric tons of global emissions every year. Things need to change — fast.

Americans paid $217 on average for electricity last month. #CleanEnergy is less susceptible to dramatic price fluctuations and helps keep utilities like electricity affordable. We need to reform the permitting process to bring more clean energy online and connected to the grid 📈 #permittingreform
