In this episode Joe Goffman speaks with Sam Ricketts, senior fellow for Energy and Environment at the Center for American Progress and former climate director for the presidential campaign of Governor Jay Inslee. He now also serves as a co-founder of Evergreen, an organization created by Inslee campaign alumni to continue to deploy the policy, communications, and organizing tools of a political campaign in service to the climate movement.
They discuss Sam’s experience developing comprehensive climate change policy proposals, how he and his colleagues thought through the problems those they had to address, and how to think about the climate change policy proposals recently unveiled in the U.S. House of Representatives and by the Biden campaign.
