We need to save our winters, save our air, and save our water! For that, we need common sense regulation reform.

“.@RepBlakeMoore, @RepChrisStewart, @RepJohnCurtis & @RepBurgessOwens need to hear from us, as do @SenMikeLee & @SenatorRomney. With the knowledge & technology we already have, and the immediacy of the problem, ask them to get to work right away!” #climate https://t.co/0BoahDZZPr

“It’s time for governors, state legislatures & members of Congress to figure out the causes of #permitting backlog for pumped-storage hydropower projects & get these projects moving.” @SpencerJCox #utleg @BradWilsonGOP #utpol @SenatorRomney @SenMikeLee https://t.co/6mR11NWNDT

Please support putting a #PriceOnCarbon! Thanks! @SenatorRomney @RepChrisStewart @RepBurgessOwens @RepJohnCurtis @SenMikeLee @RepBlakeMoore #climate

“It’s now time to prioritize research and development for agricultural technology, by asking for #InflationReductionAct (IRA) funds to support a transition to #climate-smart #farming practices. @SpencerJCox @BradWilsonGOP #utleg @ParkRecord https://t.co/6PxONCB0ko

We must address the Great Salt Lake, or the whole valley will be in endangered by arsenic-poisoned air!

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“It’s fantastic that #GreatSaltLake was one of Gov. @SpencerJCox’s top legislative priorities this past session. I hope it will continue to be next year. I hope he will reconsider the value of setting a target elevation for the lake.” @BradWilsonGOP #utleg https://t.co/rgPRfcxaxz

Rep. Curtis and the Republican Conservative Climate Caucus give me hope.

We must listen to the winter athletes and winter-based businesses that are the canaries in the coal mine on climate change.

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“The @climate_caucus’ “rational environmentalism” stance has also helped @RepJohnCurtis build a broader base of support.” https://t.co/wmi98tnE6y

“Once again, I saw how important it is to be out there having conversations, elevating the #climate discussion… as @KHayhoe says, “The best thing we can do for our climate is to talk about it.”” - Bill Barron @citizensclimate https://t.co/AhyP6OTDLg

This is a hopeful development for air quality in the Salt Lake Valley, and hopeful for fighting Long term drought.

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“To put this in perspective, @PacifiCorp’s plan to have 20,000 megawatts of #renewableenergy & 7000 megawatts of energy storage installed is equivalent to the electricity use in six million homes.” - @LoganEMitchell, #climate scientist at @UtahCleanEnergy https://t.co/mmojKaS12m

We must act quickly to save our air and water by addressing climate change.

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“I ask @RepJohnCurtis, @RepBlakeMoore and @RepBurgessOwens (members of the #ConservativeClimateCaucus) to lead on #bipartisan solutions for #cleanenergy permitting reform, legislating solutions that address both #fossilfuel and clean energy permitting. https://t.co/F57AOybWzk

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“@CitizensClimate Lobby & @RepublicEN, home of the #EcoRight, support a #conservative approach to the problem: putting a #PriceOnCarbon — a solution that’s seeing #bipartisan discussion in Congress.” @RepJohnCurtis @RepBlakeMoore @RepBurgessOwens @RepChrisStewart

[Georgia Platts @broadblogs]

Property values will plunge if climate change pushes the Great Salt Lake to shrink. The air will be too poisonous from arsenic to survive.

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“Ask @SenMikeLee @SenatorRomney & your House representative to support #climate solutions. Tell them we do not want to make the tough choice of how and where to live if our #GreatSaltLake vanishes, and our water supply shrinks along with our pocketbooks.” https://t.co/4Bw4jTz7bd

“Leading on #CleanEnergy & #climate is a prime opportunity. It’s one of chief concerns of the rising generation, including among young #Republicans.” - Isaac Grow @SenatorRomney @SenMikeLee @RepJohnCurtis @RepChrisStewart @RepBlakeMoore @RepBurgessOwens https://t.co/cTM1Fjth37

“.@SenatorRomney, I hope you’ll keep moving America forward toward concrete action. Thanks to your leadership, #Utah is at forefront of shaping what it means to be both pro-business & pro-climate. We should welcome these market-based #climate solutions.” https://t.co/V51EOoE6t5

[CCL Salt Lake City @CCLsaltlake]

“.@RepJohnCurtis is working to educate #Republican members on #climate policies that are good for our economy & national security. It’s heartening to see this progress being driven from w/i our own congressional delegation.” @climate_caucus #utpol #utleg https://t.co/V51EOoE6t5
