This week's must-read: How to Unlock Republican Support for Climate Action https://t.co/zR9NcGJ7Vs
Our friend @AWFlint from @AMSResearchOrg penned this insightful piece that should be required reading not only for everyone identifying as EcoRight, but also our allies, especially those who understand the need for bipartisan cooperation on climate change.
"When I was quoted in the New York Times article, I described the 'eco right' as 'a lonely place.' I meant it literally. There are remarkably few conservative organizations whose primary mission is helping Republican elected officials develop serious climate policy. Few donors make climate engagement a condition of support. Few advocacy groups reward constructive leadership. Few congressional staff have access to a deep bench of conservative climate experts. Climate is far more often presented as a political liability than a leadership opportunity," Alex writes. "In that environment, addressing climate change is rarely a priority. This largely explains what puzzles many observers — that Republican leaders often become noticeably more outspoken about addressing climate change after leaving office. The science has not changed. Their incentives have."
Batteries aren’t just about EVs. They’re key to a modern power grid, America’s energy future, and even national security.

Conservatives have played a larger role in climate policy than many people realize.
Sen. Lindsey Graham's work with John Kerry and Joe Lieberman, his support for nuclear energy, and later the Foreign Pollution Fee Act are all part of that story.

It's good to see another well-known Republican speaking up on climate.
Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist approaches it through health. We approach it through markets and innovation. @bfrist
Different paths. Same conversation.
Worth a read.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July!
When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence?
The Founders debated, revised, and disagreed while writing it. That's been part of the American story from the beginning.

"We've done it before, and I think we can do it again."
Ford believes America can compete with China's EV industry, but only if we recognize the challenge.
Watch @bobinglis and Ford's Evan Belser discuss why this could be our generation's Sputnik moment.
