Energy, climate, public health, & sometimes a little Durham flag-waving.

We need national legislation to put a price on carbon. #CarbonCashBack ("fee & dividend) as in #EICDA has much to recommend it. It's a starting point, not the end point. I'm eager to see carbon-smart leadership from my legislators @SenThomTillis @RepDavidEPrice

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

43 NC economists say: "A national price on carbon dioxide emissions offers the most cost-effective policy lever for reducing carbon emissions."

This is why labor advocates need to care about climate and why climate advocates need to care about workers.

[Adam Wagner @ByAdamWagner]

We also found that farmworker housing is not required to have air conditioning (less than half does), and warmer nights are a telltale sign of climate change.

If workers cannot cool off at night, they face higher risk of heat illness the next day.

Kudos for bipartisan collaboration! @SenThomTillis I urge to also join @RepDeborahRoss in supporting Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act to #fightClimateChange via #CarbonCashBack. It's good for NC business. #EICDA

[Congresswoman Deborah Ross @RepDeborahRoss]

Great news – legislation I introduced with @SenThomTillis, @SenatorBurr, & @RepRichHudson to consolidate Fort Bragg into one federal judicial district passed out of @HouseJudiciary yesterday.

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

#CarbonCashBack makes other climate policies work better (as explained by this @citizensclimate piece). @SenThomTillis, you can make it happen with the bipartisan Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act https://t.co/xUkCDZDKnf.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

The Lakers wouldn't dream of starting a championship game with LeBron James on the bench. America needs its best player, carbon pricing, on the floor in the battle against #ClimateChange.

Read @MarkReynoldsCCL's latest in @TheHillOpinion.

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

@CCLTriangle has the absolute best volunteers. I'm inspired all the time.

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

Thank you Catherine for your continued advocacy to fight #ClimateChange via a #CarbonCashBack program as outlined in the reintroduced Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act https://t.co/LRrji09bb1

NC Senators give our state a seat at the table and introduce a companion bill!

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

#CarbonCashBack is a demonstrated effective way to reduce GHG without burdening consumers. @ThomTillis & @SenatorBurr are you listening?

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

A great summary of why Carbon pricing in combination with #CarbonCashBack is so effective & helps promote #EnvironmentalJustice! Thank you Johnathan of @marinccl!
@SenThomTillis @SenatorBurr @ThomTillis @RepMarkWalker @GKButterfield were you aware of this? https://t.co/dnIUN86sa2

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

Ya don't say. https://t.co/WDzXru1SV6

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

Carbon pricing doesn't solve the urgency of climate justice. But carbon pricing is an effective tool to get us moving to decarbonization TODAY. I'm eager to see #EICDA bill in 2021. @ccltriangle https://t.co/oqXfz3WYik

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

Amen to this tweet Rep. @GKButterfield !

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

Thank you @GKButterfield for your leadership to fight the #ClimateCrisis. How about joining 85 of you colleagues and become a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act? This will also help promote improvements to energy efficiency! #ActOnClimate

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

Kudos to @POTUS for climate policy coming thick and fast. Now it's time to work for bipartisan climate legislation, including carbon fee & dividend as the backbone. Hope @SenThomTillis & @SenatorBurr will step up to join you. https://t.co/2PMPJiBSkW #PriceonPollution

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

@JulieRobinsonNC Julie, I'm with you. It feels totally weird. Grateful to have power & sunshine today, tho'.

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

Really interesting thread going on over here.

[John Farrell ☀️🌬🔋 @johnffarrell]

Here's my question for all you smart climate thinkers: how do we reassure folks in the Midwest that they should electrify heating after this? I can already hear the "all the eggs in one basket" retorts... @drvolts @NobleIdeas @energysmartohio @JesseJenkins

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

@Thomtillis you'd be in good company in supporting carbon fee & dividend, like the #EICDA legislation. It's common sense, revenue neutral, and good for North Carolina.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce "is open to a carbon tax," reports @SiegelScribe for @dcexaminer.

"It appears the group sees it as more favorable than mandates and regulations." #PriceOnPollution

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

I'll be tuning in for climate solutions conversation @1a Monday. Really hope they'll cover the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act. #EICDA

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

Looking forward to hearing @SenTinaSmith, @DrChrisClack & @AmyAHarder discuss the Energy Innovation And Carbon Dividend Act among other Climate Solutions on @1a this coming Monday. https://t.co/Xr29PDPlSU @NPR

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

And not a moment too soon!

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

The @USChamber "climate statement reflects where corporate America is headed on climate and sustainability issues" It is time you are headed there too @SenThomTillis @ThomTillis @SenatorBurr @RepMarkWalker @GKButterfield @DeborahRossNC

Thanks for making all the @citizensclimate volunteers smarter today.

[Noah Kaufman @noahqk]

I’m excited to talk with this great group’s volunteers about net zero-consistent carbon prices today

[CCL Triangle Chapter @CCLTriangle]

It is time for you @SenThomTillis @SenatorBurr to join your colleague @LindseyGrahamSC in the fight against #ClimateChange! #KeepItInTheGround

[Melissa MW @buildingsystem]

So glad to have you in Congress @DeborahRossNC! Hope to have you cosponsor the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act to address climate & protect consumers. https://t.co/GlvKyFwhgQ @CCLTriangle

[Deborah Ross @DeborahRossNC]

Today I will be sworn in as the next Rep for NC 2nd Congressional District. I cannot wait to be a team player for all of North Carolina, and work to improve the lives of the people of Wake County, our state, and our country. Tune in starting at noon https://t.co/pcmg3UTv1i
