And major props to Shawn Teigen who led the research! If you haven't read the report, and you care about addressing climate change in a way that benefits all Utahns, you really should. #utpol #utleg Governor Cox

Fossil plants use a lot of water and release planet-warming emissions that fuel megadroughts. Water efficiency is really important, but we also need to reduce the carbon emissions that are causing our water supplies to diminish. #utpol #utleg npr.org/2022/08/22/111…

“Everyone has to contribute no matter how big or how small. Municipalities are small compared to agriculture users, but that doesn't mean they're insignificant.” – John Berggren, WRA's water policy analyst.

The NEVI program is a significant step toward increasing the number of publicly available electric vehicle chargers to alleviate range anxiety and provides the backbone for all-electric interstate travel. Learn more: bit.ly/3AJTchi

WRA developed this guidebook to pinpoint high-priority water needs common across Indigenous communities and compiled the most relevant grants and programs available for specific categories of projects in the Colorado River Basin. bit.ly/3KNgB64

Give this a look. We have some great opportunities to address #ActOnClimate and improve our #airquality right now. #utpol #utleg

You should be watching this webinar right now! #utpol

ICYMI watch this webinar that my awesome Western Resource Advocates colleagues hosted about a key step states can take toward #cleanair and #climateaction. Utahns want EVs but there are barely any on lots. This would change that and have many other benefits. #utleg #utpol westernresourceadvocates.org/webinars/advan…

Props to Uintah and Tintic School Districts for applying and receiving electric school buses! A win-win for students and the climate. #utpol

Hey Sweet Streets and Salt Lake City Government how about we do this with Liberty Park too? And Sugarhouse Park while we're at it.

HBD to the IIJA! Lot's of funding opportunities for Utah to address #climatechange thanks to this legislation. #utpol

As we discuss new water policies tribes not only deserve a seat at the table, they should be listened to and their input should be considered in earnest. #utpol #utleg sltrib.com/news/politics/…

Thanks to the CHIPS and Science Act Utah is going to see new high-tech manufacturing facilities 👇 These are the kinds of jobs & investments we need in the new clean energy economy! #LetsGo #utpol Spencer Cox Senator Mitt Romney

Good read by colleague Aaron Kressig - one of the solutions we should prioritize to address #AirQuality problems in #Utah. #utpol #utleg

Among other issues with it, HJR25 could deter investment in new renewable energy resources that will benefit all Utahns and provide tax revenues and jobs for rural communities. Urge your Senators to vote no! #utpol #utleg The Salt Lake Tribune sltrib.com/renewable-ener…

Today Utah launched a waterwise landscaping incentive program, which will offer eligible residents up to $3 per square foot to replace their grass with low-water plants! This is a key step towards improving water security in the state. utahwatersavers.com

Get paid to replace your unused, water-wasting turf! This program will save a ton of water from being wasted. People think xeriscaping means a bunch of rocks, but this is a pic of my front yard that I don't water at all. Bring on the wildflowers I say!

My take in the The Salt Lake Tribune on the Salt Lake school closure process that has been marked by a lack of transparency, haste, disorganization and the absence of publicly-available data to support key assumptions made by the district. sltrib.com/opinion/commen…
