I wrote this piece 10 years ago - it was so controversial at the time it got a pro-carbon tax reply *in Jacobin* lol. By the time the Biden adminstration took over (and in the wake of the yellow vests), I *thought* everyone realized it's terrible politics. https://t.co/bHx6WKIUy1

I'm begging President AOC to not make a carbon tax the centerpiece of her climate agenda in 2029.

[Seaver Wang @wang_seaver]

David is right here--there is no path to passing a "better" permitting bill next Congress, let alone one that Trump would sign.

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

@BitchtitNitwitb @adamjohnsonCHI Yeah no Koch money here.

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

@BitchtitNitwitb @adamjohnsonCHI Lol, completely false. 🙄

[Kevin Pranis @KevinPranis]

Climate advocates asked @LIUNAMinnesota members to prioritize climate solutions, and we have.

Now it's time for environmentalists who care about climate to listen to the working men and women who know what it takes to get the job done.

@wang_seaver Depressing to me that David's AOC-socialist utopia includes a carbon tax and clean electricity standard.

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

@norris_ryan AI cringe, but yes I support.

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

For me, the #1 priority for the Left is win back working class voters who have drifted to right populism over the last decade plus. Bottom line for me is Fain would be more effective at that than AOC.

Democrats won the midterms --- but so did the tax revolt

In myriad states, the most leftwing electorate in modern history rallied behind anti-tax referenda

Many Dems catered to this mood, running on tax cuts, "no tax on cops," and property tax abolition

"Kevin Pranis, marketing manager for @LIUNAMinnesota , said that many environmental groups don’t understand how big a roadblock permitting can be to meet clean energy goals, including Minnesota’s own carbon-free energy law"

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

@KevinPranis I can only imagine it's conflating nuclear energy w/ weapons.

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

Extremely normal podcast title for a leading leftwing publisher to put out there.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

Get in losers, we’re fixing Congress.

[Fred Stafford @fredstaffordcs]

A new populist vision around energy could and should look like this 👇, but first the populists have to rip the bandaid off and stop aligning with the environmental nonprofits a priori.

[Theryn @TherynDArnold]

finally finished this. highly recommend!

[Matt Huber @Matthuber78]

@tico_tonito @adamjohnsonCHI You know man, I can't believe this is even a serious question, and I don't want to cast aspersions on any specific group, but just do some searching on who gets funding from the Open Society Foundation or 128 Collective. Many such cases.

[Julian Brave NoiseCat @jnoisecat]

Lot of anti-BAAJA people in my mentions mad about my descriptions of the bill and the political dynamics concerning climate & tribes.

FWIW, I connected The Wilderness Society—who were offering me, a new dad, $10k to make anti-BAAJA content, to an actually famous Native environmentalist because he has a larger following and would make the case against the bill in as strong and vital a way as possible.

His videos on the subject now have 1 MIL views and that’s just on Instagram
