CCL chats electrification with Rewiring America
In the latest Big Tent Climate Talk, CCLers got a chance to glimpse into
the future of building electrification. CCL's Manager of Stakeholder
Engagement and Government Affairs, Kyle Kammien, talked with Dr. Luis
Aguirre-Torres, the Senior Advisor at Rewiring America, about shifting
toward cleaner energy alternatives. This discussion comes on the heels
of CCL unveiling our new areas of policy focus
[link removed]
, one of which is building electrification and efficiency.
Kyle explains, "Now that we have expanded our focus, we need to lean on
trusted partners who are as focused on those policies as we have been on
carbon pricing and carbon fee and dividend."
"I really believe that the reach [Citizens' Climate Lobby] has, combined
with the tools and the mission of Rewiring America — we can make a
wonderful partnership," Dr. Aguirre-Torres says. "The idea is to help
the entire country electrify homes, businesses, communities, cars,
everything."
Dr. Aguirre-Torres says this exciting work is already underway,
supported by last year's passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Watch
the recording below so you're ready to jump in and help advocate for
electrification.

Montana CCLers lead ‘snowman protest'
As students from Flathead Valley, Montana, joined the local CCL
chapter's demonstrations, one student observed out loud, "Time waits for
snowman."
The humorous pun best summarizes the "snowman protests" put together by
CCLers, who have been braving the elements in support of climate action.
The tiny snowmen, built outdoors with snow and inside with paper, urge
members of Congress to "protect our home" and use the hashtag
"SnowFolks4Climate."
CCLers with the Flathead Valley chapter, led by chapter leaders Robin
Paone, Angie Winter, and Bret Luedke, have done plenty more unique
activities in the course of their climate advocacy: trail walks, working
alongside Flathead Trout Unlimited to clean up fishing access sites,
skiing events, and developing effective calling teams and writing teams
to help recruit and retain new volunteers.
"I am really impressed by the Flathead Chapter and their many
accomplishments," said Bill Barron, the Mountain West Regional
Coordinator. "The Flathead Valley Chapter has had great success locally
and has engaged volunteers from across the state on specific projects.
Aside from their many actions found in the action tracker, it is clear
that they have a fun time doing it!"
