Podcasts about carbon dividend act

The confluence of three external forces may present an opportunity in the next Congress for a carbon price. However, those external forces also constrain the opportunity such that if something passes, it will look different from the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. This webinar will explore how those three forces constrain the debate, what that means for CCL's priorities, and most importantly, for the climate. To further enhance our discussion, we'll also be hearing from one of the Hamilton Project's authors of the Climate tax policy reform options in 2025.

Join CCL's Research Team for an overview of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act that will explore more details about the policy and provide more time for Q&A. If you have new volunteers that have joined CCL since the last time the Energy Innovation Act was introduced in Congress this training will help them gain deeper understanding.

In episode 88 of Citizens Climate Radio, we dive into the passion and action of young climate activists, exploring their journeys from concern to meaningful action. Host, Peterson Toscano leads the conversation, spotlighting the endeavors of students like Emily O'Keefe and Helen Tiffin in fostering awareness about climate change and feasible solutions, focusing particularly on the carbon fee and dividend policy. See full show notes and transcript at CCLUSA.org/radio From Concern to Action Emily O'Keefe, a student at the College of William and Mary, candidly shared her progression from a state of existential concern about climate change to actively seeking out impactful solutions. Emily's journey started with a realization about the importance of sustainable living and protecting the environment. This ultimately led her to a gap year where she could detach and reconnect with nature by hiking the Appalachian Trail. "I want to do something really big about climate change. And I'm just trying to figure out how can I do that?" - Emily O'Keefe Evolving Ideas & Shared Enthusiasm Emily's initial idea to start a social movement was supported and molded by her friends, like Helen Tiffin. They delved deep into discussions about the nature of the movement and the message it should convey. Eventually, she was introduced to the carbon fee and dividend policy by a friend, Philip Ignatov. This policy became the focal point of their movement due to its effectiveness and tangible impact. Helen Tiffin supported Emily's enthusiasm, remarking on the nonpartisan nature and wide appeal of the carbon fee and dividend idea, noting, “It really is something that we can all agree upon.” Carbon Fee & Dividend – An Equitable Solution The carbon fee and dividend policy essentially imposes a fee on corporations extracting fossil fuels, making fossil fuel-intensive products more expensive and thereby encouraging consumers to opt for more sustainable alternatives. Importantly, the policy also includes an equitable dividend system where the revenue from the fees is distributed equally among Americans. "So that actually makes it so that the majority of Americans, around two-thirds, will actually break even or profit from the money coming back to them in this cashback form, than they have to pay in increased prices." - Emily O'Keefe Building a Movement Emily, Helen, and their friends engaged in creating signs which read Most Effective Climate Policy #carbonfeeanddividend bit.ly/writecongresshere They raised awareness on their campus, and beyond and fostered a ‘snowball effect', enabling more and more students and people to recognize and understand the carbon fee and dividend policy, spreading across multiple universities and leveraging online platforms like Instagram for greater reach. Their campaign also linked to direct actions, creating templates for people to write to Congress and advocate for the policy. “It is all about spreading that awareness and education and whatever form it presents itself,” Helen stated. Sustaining Impact & Longevity The Carbon Fee and Dividend Movement initiated by Emily and her friends has found a stable home base within the Citizens Climate Lobby's Higher Education Team, ensuring the sustainability and longevity of their efforts. "We are going to be partnered with Friday's For Future in advocating for this...This will bring a lot of power to the movement." - Emily O'Keefe Emphasizing the nonpartisan and optimistic values of the Citizens Climate Lobby, Emily believes in the importance of embodying these values for the successful advancement of the movement. They continue to use platforms like Slack to coordinate efforts across various chapters and provide resources to aid climate work. Follow the Climate Fee and Dividend Movement on Instagram and visit their website.  Takeaways This episode sheds light on the relentless spirit of young activists, their journey of transforming concern into impactful action, and the communal spirit that propels the movement forward. Their dedication to spreading awareness about the carbon fee and dividend as an effective and equitable solution is not just inspiring but is paving the way for a more informed and resilient climate movement.

There is a misconception among the American public that conservatives don’t see climate change as an issue. And yet, when polled, a strong majority DO recognize the climate crisis as a problem worth doing something about. But in such a polarized political environment, how do we work together on bipartisan climate solutions?   Daniel Palken is a Conservative Outreach Fellow for Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), an organization working to build support in Congress for a national bipartisan solution to climate change.  On this bonus episode of Reversing Climate Change, Daniel joins Ross to explain what drew him to work with the organization and discuss their recent Conservative Climate Lobby Day for climate advocates right of center.   Daniel introduces us to CCL’s Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, describing how the bill disincentivizes the use of fossil fuels and what differentiates it from other carbon pricing proposals. Listen in for Daniel’s insight on engaging conservatives in the climate conversation and learn how CCL’s market-driven solution seeks to unite Democrats and Republicans around its vision of a prosperous future.   Key Takeaways   [1:22] What drew Daniel to work with Citizens’ Climate Lobby Thoughtful, reasoned approach to issue he cares about Effective way to engage in politics, bipartisan group    [6:27] Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act Disincentivizes use of fossil fuels (tax based on emissions) Give money back to citizens in form of carbon dividend    [13:08] How CCL’s bill compares to other carbon pricing proposals 70 sponsors, active in three congressional committees  Taxes at rate steeper than most competing legislation Other bills use money differently (e.g.: fund infrastructure)   [18:31] What we need to do to move the needle on climate legislation Create space to engage conservatives + champion their solutions Misconception that conservatives don’t see climate as issue   [23:08] The potential for a Republican vision of climate solutions Best solutions right of center (market-driven) CCL seeks to reunite Americans around prosperous vision of future   Connect with Ross   Nori Nori on Patreon Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Citizens’ Climate Lobby Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act Daniel on Twitter Who Is America?

Today's guest, Daniel Palken, volunteers with a group called the Citizens Climate Lobby, or "CCL", which aims to slash US greenhouse-gas emissions by imposing a fee on fossil fuels. The fee will be based on the amount of greenhouse gas that the coal, gasoline, and jet fuels will generate when we burn them, and it will probably make fossil-fuel energy more expensive. But there's a catch -- or, the opposite of a catch... a bonus -- a dividend, if you will, because that's what CCL calls it. Under the proposed "Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act," all money raised by the carbon fee will go back to US citizens in the form of a dividend. We each pay into the system based on how much energy we use -- whether in the form of an extra few cents at the pump or slightly higher groceries -- but every single citizen gets the same dividend back. A fee-and-dividend system is different from the cap-and-trade programs that I usually focus on, for lots of reasons we get into. Daniel says that a fee-and-dividend scenario has bilateral support, especially among younger Republicans, and he has the data to back that up.

For many concerned with climate change, establishing a carbon fee is a step in the right direction when it comes to market-based solutions. Mark Reynolds of the Citizens' Climate Lobby argues that the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, a bill his group is pushing for in Congress, is a bipartisan way to do exactly that. Mark discusses the bill, his organization's goals, and even tells a few Don Cheadle and Bradley Whitford stories.  Also, Chad the Bird is back to talk about the damaging deforestation taking place in the Amazon as a result of the policies of Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro.  As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

In this episode we feature two people with very unconventional jobs. Milwaukee Brewers pitcher, Brent Suter is concerned about climate change. He is using his platform to speak out. Circus artist and podcaster, Eliana Dunlap, "does circus" and is using circus arts to raise awareness about climate change. There is a growing movement among professional athletes. Beyond greening the sportsworld, more and more champions are using their platforms to urge large scale responses to climate change. Lew Blaustein, editor at Green Sports Blog, writes about this trend. He has been introducing Citizens Climate Radio host, Peterson Toscano to professional athletes who are not afraid to talk about climate change.  Brent Suter received a scholarship to play baseball at Harvard University, where he studied environmental science. He learned about the effects of climate change and what how we need to drastically reduce our pollution. At first that meant making individual lifestyle choices to lower his own personal carbon footprint, but he has been expanding his efforts. Through his Strike Out Waste initiative, he got professional baseball players to use reusable water bottles during spring training.  That’s just a start. Brent understands we need to change national energy policy. In a recent interview for the Green Sport Blog he said, "At this point in time, a carbon pricing program and higher incentives for clean energy are absolutely imperative towards the goal of stabilizing our climate and ensuring a healthy and viable future for our planet. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act would not only help achieve these goals, but would give the funds raised back to the people, save countless lives, and create millions of jobs! A Green Revolution needs to happen fast, and this law, if passed, would play a vital role in helping solve the most important problem of our lives.” Hear our exclusive interview and learn more about the exciting news about how Brent is taking on climate change.  The Art House Eliana Dunlap was not born into a circus family; instead she learned circus arts at a circus school in Quebec. Her circus skill set is impressive and includes acrobatics, juggling, dance, and her speciality, the German Wheel. She has been performing circus arts in non-traditional spaces. She is also someone who is creatively responding to climate change. Through her podcast, Changing the World and Other Circus Related Things, she is connecting with other concerned circus artists. She is also one of the founding members of the Circus Action Network.  Eliana likens the high stakes world of circus arts to the challenges we face with climate change. She also sees examples from the circus world about how we can get people from various backgrounds to work together. This summer she and a friend will do street performances of a new circus art show called, High Stakes--What's the Plan(t)? In addition to lots of juggling and acrobatics, the show features a live plant as part of the action.  In this fascinating interview, Eliana opens up about the world of circus and how she and other concerned artists are creating avenues for a deeper conversation about climate change.  Puzzler In answer to last month's question, high school student, Jerome Foster II, explains why in his climate work he is more of an advocate than a rebel.  New Puzzler Question It’s a weird one, but there is a method in Our madness. We need to expand the ways we talk about climate change. Here is the question: What color do you associate with climate change and why? or What sound do you associate with climate change and why? Answer either or both. Try answering the puzzler question. Leave your name, contact info, and where you are from. Get back to host, Peterson Toscano by July, 15, 2018.

Dr. Noah Kaufman, Research Scholar, Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy Researchers from Columbia University’s SIPA Center on Global Energy Policy and Rhodium Group conducted an analysis of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. The presentation will describe estimates of the policy’s impacts on US emissions and on the production, consumption and prices across the US energy system. In addition, it will include estimates of government revenues and individual rebates, and it will survey the literature on important impacts of the policy beyond the scope of the Columbia/Rhodium analysis. #CCL2019 Conference Presentations & Videos: http://cclusa.org/presentationsFollow us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/CitizensClimateLobbyTwitter: https://twitter.com/citizensclimate

Join Sandy Simon, CCL's National Resolutions Project Coordinator, for a training that outlines one of the most impactful ways we can express local political will - through obtaining resolutions in support of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act from our local municipal governing bodies. City councils and boards of supervisors are in touch with their communities every day, are attentive to local voices, and can send strong messages on behalf of their entire citizenry. Think of local resolutions as endorsements on steroids. When a city, county or state passes one, they are sending a message to Congress on behalf of many thousands of people.

Are you interested in finding out about where the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act is designed to assess the fee it places on fossil fuel emissions? Join CCL's Research Coordinator Rick Knight for a training that explores more in-depth policy details behind how carbon-based fuels may be assessed their CO2 content and what it means to assess a fee as far upstream as possible. Rick will follow the supply chain for coal, oil and natural gas to understand how the Energy Innovation Act might minimize the administrative burden of assessing the fee while maximizing the extent to which the fee captures the full fuel cycle greenhouse gas emissions.

Beyond Carbon: Part 1: The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act. Flannery Winchester: Citizens Climate Action Lobby What do Steven Chu, Bradley Whitford, George Schultz, James Baker, Don Cheadle, William Boicourt and Fortune Magazine have in common? Support for an idea for reducing CO2 output by more than even the Paris Accords goals in two decades that essentially holds most middle class, working class and poor families harmless (70% of the population)to slightly higher costs on carbon-based products. Forget the band-aids! The most comprehensive bi-partisan measure ever proposed in the United States Congress is also the one attracting broad bi-partisan support (it also takes a big step toward dealing with income/wealth disparity!). The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act (Aka Baker Schultz Carbon Dividend Act) HR 763 is gathering steam and support from across the political spectrum. A fascinating market-based solution that even carbon-based energy companies are starting to get behind. Real change may be on the horizon. Bucky Fuller would have loved this one!

The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act—how does it work?. The majority of Americans agree that climate change exists and that it’s man-made. When France’s president tried to impose a carbon tax, serious riots broke out. How to create an acceptable carbon tax? The host for this episode is Howard Wiig. The guest for this episode is Paul Bernstein.

Before the “Green New Deal” was announced by Congressional supporters, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, H.R. 763, was introduced as proposed Federal Legislation. Climate Monitor’s Mitch Chester spoke with Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s Miami Leader Greg Hamra about H.R. 763, how it offers a creative and practical vehicle for the “Green New Idea” initiative, and the opportunities for the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate to enact a bipartisan climate solution to drive down carbon pollution. The interview was conducted on Sunday, February 24, 2019, as Mr. Hamra was returning from a Citizens’ Climate Lobby meeting in Tampa, Florida.

Leslie Palti-Guzman exchanges with Isuru Seneviratne, an energy expert and investor with a strong passion for pragmatic solutions to global warming. Isuru explains with great pedagogic skills what climate action means at the policy and investment levels (e.g Bipartisan Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, carbon tax, New green Deal, green investment, divestment). Isuru discusses also his climate engagement and civic leadership at a personal level which is very inspiring. Isuru tells us about his journey from Sri Lanka to becoming an American citizen. Hollywood TV series have definitely been an important force of American soft power (listen to the end to find out about our favorite shows growing up oversees)!

In this episode we discuss the reintroduced Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act and insights from the Green New Deal resolution. What are the issues these policies face in relation to the timeline for making a difference on terms that matter for the climate?

Time for more details about the bipartisan carbon fee bill that everybody (everybody = Hope and Ana) is talking about! Note: in the time between recording this episode and uploading it, the Senate ALSO introduced a (slightly edited) version of this bill, and the new House reintroduced it (also in slightly edited form). #nice Sources:  carbon emissions rise for 2018: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/08/politics/us-carbon-emissions-rise-2018/index.html household impact study (how does a carbon fee and dividend policy affect people across different states/income levels/etc?): https://11bup83sxdss1xze1i3lpol4-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Ummel-Impact-of-CCL-CFD-Policy-v1_4.pdf - "Importantly, this analysis is “static” and does not consider “dynamic” effects of a carbon tax on economic growth, employment, wages, trade, production processes, or consumption patterns over time.4 Nor does it consider local or global environmental benefits.

About 65% of Washington voters support action on climate change. But after six years of working to pass legislation for a carbon tax, the state has yet to put a price on emissions. How do political divisions make the mission so challenging? What alternative solutions are advocates exploring? And how might the Nori marketplace fit into a broader policy framework?  Kyle Murphy is the Executive Director of CarbonWA, a nonprofit committed to move Washington State toward zero carbon emissions. The organization is composed of students, activists, scientists, economists and concerned citizens who share the moral obligation to reduce carbon pollution and promote clean, renewable energy. CarbonWA is dedicated to passing equitable, evidence-based carbon-reduction policies, and Kyle has been leading the charge since 2015. A passionate advocate for change, he has a background in campaign management, fundraising, public speaking, communications and climate change policy. Today, Kyle joins Ross, Christophe, and Paul to discuss the ongoing effort to put a price on carbon in Washington State. He shares the competition of ideas around enacting a carbon tax, the challenge of dealing with diverse stakeholders, and the CarbonWA approach to the issue of accountability. Kyle addresses why I-732 and I-1631 may have failed despite public support of climate action and explains the appetite for alternative solutions like regulations or a citizen’s dividend. Listen in for Kyle’s insight on how climate policy differs from the legalization of marijuana or gay marriage and learn how emitters might employ Nori to earn credits within the context of a carbon tax bill.     Resources CarbonWA Greg Rock on RCC EP036 Milton Friedman Washington Initiative 732 Washington Initiative 1631 ‘The Left vs. a Carbon Tax’ in Vox Todd Myers on RCC EP052 Aldyen Donnelly on RCC EP031 Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2018   Connect with Nori Nori Nori on Facebook Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes   Key Takeaways [1:25] Kyle’s path to reversing climate change Snorkeling as kid, desire to save fish Career running climate policy campaigns [4:24] The efforts to put a price on carbon in WA Cap and trade system proposed in 2010 Revenue-neutral carbon tax on ballot in 2016  [6:30] The competition of ideas around a carbon tax Revenue neutral = same amount of taxes I-1631 used money for carbon-reducing projects  [9:45] How carbon pricing differs from cap and trade Carbon pricing, tax or fee puts dollar amount on emissions Emitters buy, trade permits at auction in cap and trade [10:38] The challenges of dealing with different stakeholders Use of revenue (conservative vs. progressive interests) Lack of basic political give and take [15:00] Why I-1631 failed while despite public support of climate action General aversion to taxes Perceived lack of accountability, effectiveness [20:03] The potential for carbon regulations in Washington State Narrow approach to single facet of problem Proposals to ban HFCs, set low carbon fuel standard  [23:28] How states might deal with carbon leakage Tax rebate for businesses likely to jump border Exempt if do something else to reduce emissions  [25:24] Kyle’s take on a regional alliance to prevent carbon leakage Little enthusiasm around issue in Idaho, Wyoming Original vision for west coast alliance unsuccessful  [27:48] How climate policy differs from gay marriage or marijuana Requires primary economic shift (change energy system) Similar in scope to issue of slavery [29:16] How fast climate change might ‘solve itself’ Electricity production within reach (perhaps by 2045) Still need breakthrough in transportation, industry [30:37] How CarbonWA handles the issue of accountability Access to power not same as power Remains independent of political party [33:22] The benefit to a citizen’s dividend policy Easy to sell to electorate, adds durability Easy to balance total revenue of program [36:18] How Nori might fit into the broader policy framework Carbon tax bills with clause re: carbon sequestration Payers could claim credit, wouldn’t have to pay tax [37:47] How Nori is considering issues of justice/fairness Think about how land used prior to farming Consider indigenous people who don’t own land

In this episode, we talk climate policy! Specifically, we talk about a bipartisan carbon fee and dividend bill that was introduced in the House of Representatives last month.  ("But Hope and Ana, what about batteries?" Why do you think we got into batteries in the first place if not for their implications re: climate change? :( Ok no but for real, carbon fee --> fossil fuels less economically viable in the future --> solar/wind power MORE economically viable in the future --> energy storage Very Needed And Wanted --> more funding for battery research, probably!) Part 1 covers the basics of the bill! Impress your friends with your knowledge of its agricultural exemptions, its basis in IPCC findings, its special prescription for fluorinated greenhouse gases, and more! (And then tune in next time for the economic effect of the dividend, our takes on how this would interact with a Green New Deal, and, you guessed it, MORE) Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAfWTppsc2w - The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act Legislative Details from Citizens Climate University, and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqrqfpXjOTE - additional Q&A enhanced oil recovery: https://www.energy.gov/fe/science-innovation/oil-gas-research/enhanced-oil-recovery Bill text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/7173/text   

On today's bonus episode, Alise and Bryan chat with Citizens' Climate Lobby Communications Coordinator Flannery Winchester about CCL's mission, the recent White House climate report findings, and a new bipartisan bill called the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act that will help reduce carbon emissions *and* might put a little money back into your pocket.
