Summoning the “Innovation Fairy” is Republicans’ latest “do nothing“ argument about climate change. Fossil fuel loves “do nothing.” — PolitiTweet.org

No reason to “mince words” about this scheme. We’ve been asleep at the switch while the robbery happened. https://t.co/einq5O84Mt — PolitiTweet.org

Similar to my American Opportunity Carbon Fee Act, which would reduce emissions by 50% and generate over $2 trillion in revenue in the first decade. https://t.co/AXuO2RJlZV — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I like this carbon pricing; with a little flexibility on revenues it’s more likely to pass; & it would help if companies actually pushed this in Congress. By the time business message gets from press conferences to Congress, climate topic has evaporated. https://t.co/owH58VZjpL — PolitiTweet.org

Remember, first thing crooked fossil fuel industry did with corrupted Trump @EPA was to take down methane leak reporting. Think maybe they knew something? https://t.co/i5Qzsz8qRb — PolitiTweet.org

.@echasan’s article confirms many of my points. Corporate America useless or worse on climate in Congress; trade associations suck; many polluters advertise more about green energy than they actually invest; financial companies lame about policing companies on climate. — PolitiTweet.org

The Billionaires Club has collectively done squat in Congress. Fix That. — PolitiTweet.org

1⃣ Stop supporting the party that opposes progress. 2⃣ Stop supporting trade & advocacy groups that oppose progress. 3⃣ Stop supporting candidates that oppose progress. 4⃣ Make your big companies advocate for progress. — PolitiTweet.org
