CSfC - Fee-and-Dividend / Stark Bill Meeting - Feb 6, 2012

[Erik Thorkildsen]

Kate,

Thank you very much for taking time to meet with Cambridge-Somerville for Change's Climate and Energy Team on February 6th. We thoroughly enjoyed your well informed perspective on Climate Change, Fee-and-Dividend, and Pete Stark's Save-Our-Climate-Act, and appreciate your ideas on how to promote effective action.

I'm attaching our meeting minutes.  Let me know if you have any corrections.

Here are some links to citizen's Climate Lobby's information about Fee and Dividend, and about the Save Our Climate Act:

Erik,

Thanks for cc'ing me on this. These are useful links.

We should get together sometime to get caught up on things. Elizabeth Kolbert, New Yorker climate correspondent, will be talking at Harvard mid-day on Tuesday. Is there any chance you could make that or would another time be better?
