New: is trying something different for a Democrat in a closely-divided state: Leaning in on climate change and clean energy.
"We have to seize this moment to get it done.” (1/5)
Conversation
He cites two main examples for clean energy opportunities in Georgia (both in deep-red parts).
A solar panel production site in Dalton and battery plant in Commerce. Ossoff personally negotiated a deal to save the battery plant. (2/5)

Ossoff tells me he's spoken "multiple times" with Biden about the need to go big.
"It's thanks to Georgia voters that we have a majority that gives us the opportunity to do something big on infrastructure and clean energy." (3/5)

Most notably, to me, he didn't rule out backing policies that many Democrats in competitive states twist themselves in knots to avoid.
He said he could "possibly" support a clean energy standard and called a carbon tax "viable and worthy of consideration." (4/5)

Applicable instances where that makes sense should be selective. For example, taxing diesel to operate a cement truck with the implied suggestion that the operator chose that over a "green cement truck" would be like taxing someone for eating Earth cheese instead of Moon cheese.

He needs to try to respond to his constituents with their complaints about government agencies. Stood in line twice to vote for him & his office can't be bothered to send anything other than generic email to many GA small business owners. Guess he wants to be a 1 term Senator.

My daughter and I have to reach our goal by 6/3. If we don't we'll be evicted. This means that the moment the moratorium is over, we'll have ONE WEEK to vacate. If you're able to donate, that would be amazing, but an RT would be just as appreciated. 💙💜

Climate change is pivotal. Our children, and the world, depend on it.

If could find a way to harness just the heat energy that comes off the asphalt in August, we would be set.
