The VT Climate Solutions Caucus

Follow the legislative Climate Solutions Caucus, and our activity in Montpelier Vermont. Help us tackle an unprecedented challenge.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.

Don’t you dare act surprised.

Yesterday over 40 people came together to discuss climate priorities for the 2023 session. It was especially heartening to see so many potential new legislators eager to get to work! #vtpoli #ActOnClimate

We have to stick this landing and Climate Solutions Caucus members are working hard to make that a reality! #vtpoli

The people most familiar with Vermont’s climate plan are not confident that the state will meet its 2025 emission reduction requirement. https://t.co/xJFn5fk3Tj

[Renewable Energy VT @RE_Vermont]

"global emissions need to drop 45% by the end of this decade compared to 1990 levels. But recent data show that despite rapid growth in renewable energy, total emissions are going up, not down amid rising energy demand & the expansion of fossil fuel use." https://t.co/2JlGvAOfVc

This interview just feels good on the soul. 😊 I love being able to showcase black excellence in the state.

[Renewable Energy VT @RE_Vermont]

Vermont’s Environmental Justice Bill (S.148) just gained initial Senate approval by voice vote. It’s about time for Vermont to join the other 42 states that have enacted environmental justice legislation! Special thanks to Senators @Bray4VT, @SenatorBalint, and @KeshaRam!

Climate change is a local issue- get out and vote today Vermonters! Many of our Climate Solutions Caucus members started in local office, and we strive to stay connected with our community energy committees and grassroots organizations. #thinkglobalactlocal #vtpoli

[Christopher Pearson @Pearson_VT]

If we want to protect Vermont's environment we need new strategies to stay warm in winter. The Clean Heat Standard is an innovative approach that emerged from the Climate Action Plan. Here's our interview with VT Gas CEO Neale Lunderville, take a look. https://t.co/izIUE5HS3F

My first @NewYorker climate newsletter is...off the presses? Into the ether? Airborne? Anyway, you can read it now--it's free, and it will arrive weekly.
Thanks to a fine crew of editors, and to Christiana Figueres @cfigueres for an opening interview
