Media tour highlights conservative take on new climate policy

Following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, conservative
voices have remained critical in the climate conversation, despite the
fact that the IRA was a Democrat-only bill.

CCL organized a media tour for 2022 Conservative Outreach Fellow Hannah
Rogers, who gave interviews in nine states across the country to explain
the good things that the Inflation Reduction Act has in store for
conservative communities.

Hannah appeared on broadcasts for local news stations in Louisiana,
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, as well as
two national radio appearances. Hannah explained why the Inflation
Reduction Act appeals to her as a young Republican.

"It lowers people's energy costs, and that's a huge barrier to climate
change mitigation efforts. By 2030, every American household will save
around $200 a year, which is huge," Hannah said. "And then also
something that's really special for Utah is the bill also has a ton of
drought relief, and as a Utahn, we experience a lot of droughts here."

Hannah took a moment to reflect on what she would like to see the
Republican party do in the climate realm moving forward.

"I would like the Republican party to acknowledge climate change exists.
A lot of Republicans do, but so often, plenty of people either ignore
the problem, or pretend that it's a hoax, and it's not. I, as someone on
the right, really want someone that I elected into office to represent
me and my interests in the sphere of climate."

about the float, thanking CCL's Ann Arbor, Michigan, chapter for
inspiration.

The bike float appeared at the Nordic Fest bike parade, sporting signs
and banners urging people to call their members of Congress and work for
climate legislation.
