A
NEW ADMINISTRATION IN THE WHITE
HOUSE SO TODAY WE'RE GOING TO
FOCUS ON WHAT THAT MEANS FOR
THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE
CHANGE SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC
WE'LL HEAR FROM JUSTIN WAR LAND
SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
FOR TIME.
>> I'M ABOUT WHAT PRESIDENT
ELECT BIDEN'S CABINET PICKS SAY
ABOUT HIS SERIOUSNESS TO TACKLE
THE
CLIMATE CRISIS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT PLUS NEW YORK
STATE SENATOR TODD KAMINSKY
WILL JOIN US TO EXPLAIN WHY HIS
NEW BILL WOULD MOVES
RECYCLING COSTS AWAY FROM
CONSUMERS AND OVER
TO CORPORATIONS.
>> DURING PRESIDENT ELECT JOE
BIDEN'S FIRST 100 DAYS IN
OFFICE ALL EYES WILL BE ON HIS
FIRST AD ACTIONS AND EXECUTIVE
ORDERS THAT THE COMMANDER
IN CHIEF TYPICALLY AMERICANS
WILL BE WATCHING TO SEE WHETHER
HE MAKES GOOD ON CAMPAIGN
PROMISES, INCLUDING THOSE
SURROUNDING
CLIMATE CHANGE AND I WAS
LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE
CHANGES SPECIFICALLY RELATING
TO CLIMATE CHANGE THERE.
A LOT OF SWEEPING BILLS HE
WANTS TO PROPOSE INCLUDING OF
COURSE WHAT WE
KNOW IT. FIRST ONE THEY ARE
GETTING BACK INTO THE
PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT ANOTHER
ONE THAT I NOTICE THAT IS ALSO
ON THIS FOR CANCELING PERMIT
FOR KEYSTONE
XL PIPELINE. ALSO BANNING NEW
OIL AND GAS PERMITTING ON
PUBLIC LANDS AND WATER
INCLUDING THE ARCTIC NOW
NATIONAL WILDLIFE BRIGHT FUTURE
WE'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE
AND AND THE EVER SO IMPORTANT
REIMPOSING METHANE POLLUTION
LIMITS ABSOLUTELY NOW.
>> WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ALL OF
THESE MOVES
KIND OF HAS TO TAKE PLACE AT
THIS POINT IN TIME IN ORDER TO
PUT US BACK INTO AN
ACTUAL MEANINGFUL STEPPING
STONE
PROGRESS CHARTS AND ROAD MAP TO
SET US UP TO ACTUALLY GET BACK
ON CONTRACT. GIVEN
SOME OF THE DETRIMENT THAT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES SEEN
OVER THE PAST
4 YEARS.
>> YEAH GOT TALKING ABOUT
GETTING US BACK ON TRACK
JOINING US NOW IS HEATHER
CYCLE, FORMER CLIMATE ADVISER
TO SECRETARY JOHN KERRY AND
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
>> AND NOW CEO OF
AMERICAN CLEAN POWER HEATHER
WELCOME TO THE SHOW WAS SO
EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HOW MUCH DO
ANTICIPATE PRESIDENT ELECT
BIDEN WILL BE ABLE COM BUSH
EARLY IN HIS TENURE WHEN IT
COMES TO CLIMATE.
>> GREAT WELL THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN YOU
TODAY OBVIOUSLY. MY NUMBER
COMPANIES WHICH REPRESENTS YOU
KNOW THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF
CLEAN POWER WIND SOLAR
TRANSMISSION
AND STORAGE COULD BE MORE
EXCITED ABOUT THE INCOMING
ADMINISTRATION AND THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT
WE SEE TO BOTH HELP SOLVE THE
CHALLENGES THAT THAT THAT THAT
THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
FACES WHAT
I CAN RECOVERY IN COMBATING
CLIMATE CHANGE WE SEE THOSE
2 ISSUES GOING HAND IN HAND AND
WE FEEL. WE ARE UNIQUELY
POSITIONS SAID TO HELP
TACKLE THESE CRITICAL TO YOUR
POINT
I THINK THEY'RE THE
ADMINISTRATION AND THIS MADE IT
CLEAR THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
PRIORITIZE ACTION THAT THEY CAN
TAKE ON DAY TO MAKE MEANINGFUL
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PRODUCT
CLIMATE AGENDA.
>> ONE OF THE MANY REASONS
WE'RE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON
TODAY SHOW HEATHER IS
YOU ARE PERSONALLY WITH THE
BIDEN TEAM TO HELP FORM THIS
AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO
PRESIDENT OBAMA CLIMATE POLICY.
>> WELL I THINK THE AT THE
HEART OF THE BIDEN PROPOSAL IS
A
RECOGNITION THAT WE HAVE LOST
TIME AND THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU
EMBRACE WHAT
THE WHAT PRESIDENT ELECT BIDEN
HAS WHICH IS THE SCIENCE
BEHIND CRIME THE CHANGE THERE'S
A BROAD RECOGNITION THAT YOU
KNOW THE ACTIONS THAT WE'RE
TAKING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
WILL MAKING PROGRESS DID NOT GO
FAR ENOUGH THEY DID
NOT DEPLOY ENOUGH OF THAT
COLLECTIVE ACTIONS ACROSS THE
AND AND THAT YOU KNOW A LOT OF
THIS WEATHER COMES. IT IS
NOT REGULATING THE TAILPIPE
EMISSIONS FROM OUR CARS AND
TRUCKS OR REGULATING EMISSIONS
FROM OUR POWER
YOU KNOW WE NEED TO MOVE
QUICKER. WE NEED TO MOVE MORE
AGGRESSIVELY. AND IMPORTANTLY
WE NEED TO DO THAT IN A WAY
THAT ALLOWS FOR IT JUST
TRANSITION, SO THAT
ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE COMPOUND. IS IS ALSO
THAT I THINK WE SAW THE BIDEN
HARRIS TICKET FULLY EMBRACE
AND BOTH THE POLICIES AND THE
INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE EU
MINISTRATION THAT ARE GOING TO
BE WORKING ON
THOSE ISSUES. ARE POISED TO TO
MAKE MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS.
SO THE BROADER AGENDA
ON EQUITY.
>> I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT DO
YOU THINK OR AT LEAST
ANTICIPATE WILL BE THE HARDEST
POLICIES TO NOT ONLY PASS
CONGRESS BUT ACTUALLY
ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENT.
>> SO YOU KNOW I'M
ACTUALLY PRETTY OPTIMISTIC
GIVEN THE FACT THAT
YOU KNOW.
>> OR JUST THINKING ABOUT OUR
OUR PERSPECTIVE FROM CLEAN
POWERS PERSPECTIVE AND AGAIN
WE'RE TALKING WIND SOLAR
STORAGE
AND TRANSMISSION. WE ARE
ALREADY TRILLION-DOLLAR PART OF
THE
ECONOMY TODAY AND I THINK WHEN
IT GETS BACK TO LIKE HOW DO
YOU ATTACK THOSE 2 CORE
PRIORITIES ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN
COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE
YOU KNOW WE ARE VERY WELL
POISED TO HELP THE
ADMINISTRATION TACKLE THESE
2 CHALLENGES AND I BELIEVE THAT
YOU KNOW GIVEN THAT YOU KNOW
THE THIS THE JOB CREATION IS
NOT SOMETHING THAT FALLS DOWN
TO BLUE OR RED STATES IS REALLY
SOMETHING
THAT EVERYBODY. CAN CAN SEE THE
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND I'M
ACTUALLY
PRETTY OPTIMISTIC THAT WHETHER
IT'S YOU KNOW THE UPCOMING
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE THAT WE
EXPECT TO
SEE FROM THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OR YOU
KNOW THIS BROADER PUSH TO
DEPLOY TEEN ENERGY AND
TRANSITION. OUR SECTOR AND THE
CARBON
AS QUICKLY AS WELL, I'M
ACTUALLY OPTIMISTIC THAT THIS
IS GOING TO BE AN AGENDA THAT
CAN WE CAN UNITE
THE COUNTRY. AND AND THAT WE'RE
GOING TO ABLE TO YOU KNOW TRUE
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
>> A VERY DIVISIVE SUBJECT IN
THIS COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY WHEN
IT COMES TO CLIMATE IS THE
KEYSTONE PIPELINE. AS YOU KNOW
MICHAEL A COLLEAGUE BRAD AND I
WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT A
MOMENT AGO THE CANCELING OF THE
KEYSTONE PIPELINE IS PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT DO YOU EXPECT ANY
PUSH BACK HERE, HEATHER.
>> WELL LISTEN I I I I EXPECT
THAT.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO YOU KNOW
THEY ARE WELL. NO IF
IF IF ALL POLICIES WERE
ACCEPTED BY EVERYONE ELSE.
TIME IT WOULD BE LOVELY HAHA
ACTUALLY ACHIEVABLE. OUR FOCUS
IT'S OUR TRADE ASSOCIATION
SPEEDING
THAT TRANSITIONS A LOWER CARBON
FUTURE THROUGH THE USE OF CLEAN
POWER
TECHNOLOGIES INC PROVIDING
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
INVESTMENTS INTO US
COMMUNITIES.
I YOU KNOW I WHAT WE'VE SEEN
FROM THE BIDEN
HARRIS ADMINISTRATION. THEY
REALLY SEE THE ECONOMIC
RECOVERY AND COMBATING CLIMATE
CHANGE GO HAND IN HAND AND
THEY'RE THINKING. YOU KNOW I
YOU KNOW WE'RE WE ARE.
VERY
POISED TO ADVANCE OUR MISSION
IN A WAY THAT IS A SENSE OF
PORT FROM FROM BLUE STATES AND
