CCL's Danny Richter talks about H.R. 763 on NPR's 1A
The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act got some major media
exposure recently when it was the topic of conversation on the NPR show
1A. CCL VP for Government Affairs Danny Richter was among a panel of
guests talking about carbon pricing. He said the thing that sets H.R.
763 apart is the steep rate of increase for the carbon fee and the fact
that revenue is returned to households.
Why has this bill gained traction? Danny said CCL worked outside the
Beltway, "educating people in [nearly all] districts and teaching them
about this policy... then they've been going back to the Beltway and
building support there. So the key for us has been to go outside of the
Beltway."
Listen to Danny's interview on 1A and share the program on social media.

Media: Endorsement in Grand Junction
The highest value media we can generate is an editorial endorsement for
the Energy Innovation Act, and that's what CCL volunteers in Grand
Junction, Colorado, managed to get after they met with the editorial
board of the Daily Sentinel. Under the headline "A carbon solution," the
Sentinel said, "We find the carbon fee and dividend proposal perhaps the
most elegant because it's based on market principles and doesn't ask
anyone to sacrifice their political values." Read the full editorial
