Webinar Recording & Discussion
In our webinar last week on federal clean energy standards, Senator Tina Smith (D-MN)—a leading advocate for clean energy standards in the budget reconciliation—gave opening remarks, saying a federal clean energy standard is a progressive but practical building block that would work with other efforts, including tax incentives, energy efficiency incentives, and a civilian climate corps. She said her efforts to work the policy into budget reconciliation have made it more investment based and budget based, which has strengthened it.

Her remarks were followed by a panel discussion featuring Lindsey Walter (Third Way, Climate and Energy Program Deputy Director), Devin Hartman (R Street Institute, Energy & Environmental Program Director), and Arne Olson (Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc., Senior Partner), moderated by Todd Snitchler (President and CEO of the Electric Power Supply Association, also this event's co-host)
