My op-ed. Protect the good stuff. ncnewsline.com/2024/10/28/th…
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
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.
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
Great news – legislation I introduced with @SenThomTillis, @SenatorBurr, & @RepRichHudson to consolidate Fort Bragg into one federal judicial district passed out of @HouseJudiciary yesterday.
#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 energyinnovationact.org.
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.

#CarbonCashBack is a demonstrated effective way to reduce GHG without burdening consumers. @ThomTillis & @SenatorBurr are you listening?
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? youtube.com/watch?v=o2rNq1ER…
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 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Amen to this tweet Rep. @GKButterfield !
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
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. energyinnovationact.org #PriceonPollution
Really interesting thread going on over here.
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

I'll be tuning in for climate solutions conversation @1a Monday. Really hope they'll cover the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act. #EICDA
Looking forward to hearing @SenTinaSmith, @DrChrisClack & @AmyAHarder discuss the Energy Innovation And Carbon Dividend Act among other Climate Solutions on @1a this coming Monday. the1a.org/segments/biden-cli… @NPR
And not a moment too soon!
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

It is time for you @SenThomTillis @SenatorBurr to join your colleague @LindseyGrahamSC in the fight against #ClimateChange! #KeepItInTheGround
Republican Senator @LindseyGrahamSC writes that the U.S. "must innovate and lead" on climate.
"The bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, of which I am a member, is working to propose new pathways for climate policy."

So glad to have you in Congress @DeborahRossNC! Hope to have you cosponsor the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act to address climate & protect consumers. energyinnovationact.org/ @CCLTriangle
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 c-span.org/congress/
I couldn't agree more with this quote from @SenThomTillis. NC voters are eager for Congressional leadership on bipartisan, market-based policy like Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act. #EICDA @citizensclimate @ccltriangle citizensclimatelobby.org/ene…
Thank you for your clean energy leadership Senator Tillis! @SenThomTillis #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyJobs
I just read on Fox that you want to heal the partisan divide. Seems like you're off to a solid start on that. foxnews.com/politics/north-c…
