Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome back from August recess! While Congress was out of session, CRES had a jam-packed agenda advocating for our priorities. Throughout August, members of our team traveled to Alaska, Michigan, Montana, Texas, Tennessee, New Mexico and Colorado to meet with legislators, staff and key industry stakeholders.
A large part of CRES’ work is educating policymakers and the public about the real-life impact of an all-of-the-above energy approach. Meeting lawmakers in their own backyards is key to communicating our message and showing policy impacts are real.
These trips are packed with site visits, educational panels and live, on-the-ground walkthroughs detailing the impact of energy policy and projects in local communities. Learning from those at home is critical, particularly as the energy world begins to think about “what’s next”? Our efforts will continue to ensure we are prepared for whatever comes down the pipeline.
One crucial component to CRES Forum’s education efforts—and now less than two weeks away—is National Clean Energy Week (NCEW)! With lawmakers and industry leaders confirmed to attend and participate, this NCEW will be the biggest one yet and we hope to see everyone there. If you’re interested in learning more about NCEW, please reach out to our new Vice President of External Relations, Angela Chiappetta, at [email protected].
As always, CRES understands political headwinds and is keeping a close eye on changes or movements from the Administration for anything that could impact our champions in Congress and partners in the business world. We remain in close contact with our friends and allies to ensure no one is caught off guard. Should you want to collaborate with the CRES team on clean energy initiatives or learn more about our work, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
