GOOD NEWS!

On July 28, nine volunteers from Tennessee, along with 850 Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteers from all 50 states, met with the offices of Senators Hagerty and Blackburn and Representatives Ogles, Harshbarger, Burchett, Fleischman, DesJarlais, Rose, Kustoff, and Cohen in Washington, D.C., encouraging bipartisan progress on reducing carbon pollution.

These policies also strengthen America’s energy security, reduce unnecessary barriers to building critical infrastructure, improve grid reliability, and help ensure families and businesses have access to abundant, affordable power during periods of extreme heat and rising demand.
