This is the second of two episodes in which we look at clean energy advocacy and politics from different political points of view, as we approach November's midterm elections. This week we hear a progressive perspective from Craig Auster, PAC and Advocacy Partnerships Director at the League of Conservation Voters.
We begin the conversation with a discussion about what LCV is and does, and then get into the politics.
Show references include:
- Emily's List
- Rep. Terri Sewell
- H.Con.Res.119 (House Resolution opposing a carbon tax)
- Market Choice Act sponsored by Rep. Carlos Curbelo
