Statements of Support

Heather Reams, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Executive Director: “CRES applauds US Rep. John Curtis (R-UT) and the 51 other House Republicans who today announced the creation of the Conservative Climate Caucus and looks forward to working with Members and staff on its agenda. The climate is changing and to address it, our country needs a commonsense approach that works by reducing energy prices, not energy choices;

shrinking our emissions, not our economy; and,

exporting American innovation, not American jobs. Despite what fringe activists and their Capitol Hill champions say, overregulatingAmerica will not lower emissions globally.This caucus understands that climate change is a global issue.Today, 85 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions occur outside of the United States – a share that will increase to 90 percent by the end of the next decade. This means that U.S. climate and energy policy must foster innovation and commercialization pathways that work forIndiana as well as for India. Achieving emissions-reduction solutions are possible with the leadership demonstrated by the creation this caucus today.”

Rich Powell, ClearPath Executive Director: “Republicans have real solutions for climate change – ones that are technologically realistic, economically feasible, and politically sustainable. Over the past decade, conservatives have institutionalized big, bold goals anchored by clean energy breakthroughs as the best approach to solving the climate challenge. Higher taxes and more regulations won’t solve it – and this Conservative Climate Caucus will continue advancing solutions that strengthen the American economy, and reduce global carbon emissions.”

citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. that advocates for a clean energy policy of the United States.^[1] CRES was founded in 2013 to engage Republican lawmakers in the national conversation about clean energy and promote the concept of energy policy as a nonpartisan issue.^[2]

History

CRES was founded by Republican grassroots organizer James Dozier in 2013.^[1] In 2017, former U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte was named as the organization’s senior advisor.^[3]

CRES announced^[4] Managing Director Heather Reams’ promotion to Executive Director and added Brandon Audap^[5] to the roster as VP-government relations in 2019.

In 2018 CRES received a $1 million grant from the MacArthur Foundation. [SEE REQ FROM EMPLOYEE] CRES has also received funding from industry groups.^[6]

CRES formed the House Clean Energy and Innovation Working Group and the Senate Energy and Environment Working Group to help lawmakers collaborate on clean energy policy.^[7] ^[8]

Research

In 2019,^[9] CRES worked with ClearPath to release a white paper, "Clean Energy Solutions Must Include Nuclear," in cooperation with fellow energy organizations ClearPath, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, and American Council for Capital Formation.

The organization also publishes polls that analyzes voters’ sentiments toward clean energy policies and the elected officials who support those solutions.^[10] ^[11] ^[12] A June 2020 poll conducted by CRES revealed that Republican voters agree with Democrats and independent voters that the government should address climate change and environmental issues.^[13] A February 2020 poll showed that over two-thirds of young voters were more likely to vote for a Republican candidate who states that climate change is real.^[6] [THUS ^WORK ^IS ^DEFENSIVE?]

Political positions

CRES works with clean energy policy and weighs in on other issue areas as they relate to clean energy, such as the Paris Agreement.^[14] ^[15]

In 2017 CRES had an ad campaign directed at President Trump to either stay in the Paris climate accords, or to renegotiate.^[6]

On November 29, 2018,^[16] CRES was one of many energy organizations who co-signed a letter to the US Senate and House leaderships, advocating for a modified tax code that would allow energy storage technology to be eligible for the Investment Tax Credit. The organisation is against charging companies which emit carbon, but supports paying farmers and foresters to remove it via the proposed "Growing Climate Solutions Act".^[17]

Climate science skeptics grasp for power in changing GOP

Climate science skeptics grasp for power in changing GOP

MARCH 10, 2020

As originally published in E&E News.

By: Nick Sobczyk

March 10, 2020

Skeptics of mainstream climate science and hard-line conservatives think they still have a hold on the GOP, despite a recent rhetorical evolution among congressional Republicans.

It’s part of a battle for the soul of the party between hard-right organizations, such as the Club for Growth, and the newfangled and well-funded ecosystem of conservative clean energy groups, led most prominently by ClearPath and Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions.

There are abundant signs on Capitol Hill that people who question climate science are losing clout with Republicans. But they are insistent that not much has changed, particularly with President Trump still in the White House.

“I don’t think we’re losing much ground,” said Myron Ebell, a prominent energy advocate with the Competitive Enterprise Institute and a longtime opponent of the scientific consensus that greenhouse gases are warming the planet. Ebell helped lead Trump’s EPA transition team.

“I do think that there’s been more hand waving,” he added, “but I don’t think Republican voters have been influenced very much by the hand waving and the shouting.”

Party leadership on Capitol Hill would beg to differ. And even some Trump-loyal Republicans are happy to distance themselves from the climate science denial movement, even if they’re not willing to offer the kind of policies many experts say will be necessary to reduce the use of fossil fuels — the primary driver of climate change.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and his top energy deputies rolled out a package of small-ball climate change bills last month, pointing to polls that show younger voters increasingly worried about the issue.

None would reduce fossil fuel use, but they would aim to reduce emissions through carbon capture and sequestration (Greenwire, Feb. 12).

Meanwhile, Republicans on powerful committees such as Energy and Commerce have largely dropped outright climate denial for the kind of “energy innovation” talking points favored by CRES and ClearPath.

“Both sides now recognize climate is changing, temperature is increasing we need to do something about it,” said Energy and Commerce Committee ranking member Greg Walden (R-Ore.). “We’re just speaking out and making our own views known better, and there is more evidence.”

Policywise, what they’re doing is phenomenal and unbelievable and beyond anything we could have hoped. It truly is.

Marc Morano, director of communications at the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow]

The fact remains, however, that the Republican president frequently denies climate change and for a time employed a man — William Happer — tasked with performing a critical review of federal climate science.

For skeptics and libertarian ideologues alike who want to see the federal regulatory regime torn down, that’s an important audience.

“Policywise, what Andrew Wheeler is doing is phenomenal. Policywise, what Donald Trump is doing is phenomenal,” said Marc Morano, director of communications at the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, who has questioned climate science for years.

“Policywise, what they’re doing is phenomenal and unbelievable and beyond anything we could have hoped,” he said. “It truly is.”

Fighting over the details

There’s no meaningful debate among climate scientists about whether temperatures are rising because of man’s industrial activity.

A host of peer-reviewed studies warn of potentially catastrophic economic and environmental effects, many of which are readily apparent today, without dramatic changes to global greenhouse gas emissions. Most objections to the science have virtually zero credibility in the world’s scientific community.

Still, politically, Ebell doesn’t think it’s useful for conservatives to cede the debate because he said McCarthy’s efforts won’t convince voters who want the federal government to address climate change to vote Republican.

“If local environmental groups or local media in their districts start looking into these bills and start giving them publicity in the local media, they’re going to have a hard time explaining themselves because we’ve conceded that global warming’s a problem, and we’ve got a plan which will do nothing to address it,” Ebell said.

“So I think it’s not a well-thought-out way to proceed on this issue, and I doubt that they’re going to get very much positive spin out of it with voters,” he said.

Prominent conservative organizations, meanwhile, are making similar arguments with more subtle references to the science of climate change.

After McCarthy, Louisiana Rep. Garret Graves and other Republicans came out with their package of bills last month, the Club for Growth promptly blasted it, threatening to withhold endorsements from supporters.

“When you give an inch on principle, you concede a negotiating posture that has also led to devastating bipartisan agreements on bailouts, spending and regulation,” Scott Parkinson, vice president of government affairs for the Club for Growth, wrote in a subsequent letter to the editor in The Washington Post last month.

“Club for Growth will continue to work with principled conservatives who reject climate alarmism and fight for energy and environmental policies based on sound economic principles,” he wrote.

Despite those disagreements, the Republican efforts on climate aren’t actually all that new, and they’re generally more focused on repackaging GOP-backed policies through a climate change lens.

One of the bills they rolled out last month, for instance, would make permanent the 45Q tax break for carbon capture and sequestration, which a Republican-led Congress expanded in 2018.

Graves, the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis’ ranking member, is also leading a letter to National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, to be sent in the coming weeks, urging the White House to promote fossil fuel exports as a way to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

Top Republicans, including Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming, are expected to sign.

The Trump administration, of course, is already gung-ho about exporting fossil fuels, but Republicans argue that it can help the fight against climate change because U.S. exports have lower life-cycle emissions than sources in the developing world.

The current backdrop, however, is that U.S. emissions are increasing, undermining Republicans who point to emissions reductions during the last 15 years. EPA’s most recent numbers found that greenhouse gas emissions rose 3.1% in 2018 — during Trump’s second year in office — despite the continued decline of coal (Climatewire, Feb. 13).

Meanwhile, the party as a whole still roundly rejects carbon pricing and regulations, tools that most climate experts say will be necessary to deploy clean energy technology to the market and reduce emissions fast enough to stave off the worst effects of climate change.

“Looking back over the last several years there have been policies that are entirely consistent with Republican ideology that we can continue doing that achieve multiple goals,” Graves said. “My whole thing is let’s not sit here and fight over the details of the science.”

Constituent services?

Ebell and other skeptics dismiss conservative clean energy groups as empty vessels with money but no loyal supporters, but they’re having an impact.

CRES alone spent nearly $500,000 lobbying on various energy issues in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to disclosure forms, including with several outside lobbying firms.

Much of the lobbying effort went toward getting clean energy priorities into the tax extenders package at the end of last year, according to CRES Executive Director Heather Reams, but CRES and ClearPath were enthusiastic about Republicans adopting their rhetoric in early 2020.

Still, Reams said she doesn’t see her group’s efforts as in direct conflict with those who question climate science. Rather, she believes she offers Republicans who want to talk about climate change a supportive landing pad.

“They’re responding to voters,” Reams said. “So I think it’s a very unfair position that some groups are putting Republican members in. These are complex problems and deserve complex solutions, and keeping your head in the sand is not a solution.”

And in a sign that the climate skeptic wing’s influence could be petering out, the Heartland Institute — a conservative think tank that has long dispersed debunked theories about climate change — laid off some of its staff last week amid reported financial woes (Greenwire, March 9).

Efforts to promote carbon taxes as a conservative solution to climate change have been less successful so far, however, showing the limits of the Republican transformation. Currently, the policy has only a small constituency.

[5] CRES has also supported the Utilizing Significant Emissions with Innovative Technologies (USE IT) Act, a bill which seeks to direct government funds towards carbon capture and storage research in order to combat climate change. [6]

Under Reams’ leadership, CRES has also supported increased government funding for environmentalist energy projects. CRES has supported the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) Act,[7] which would increase government research into developing storage systems for environmentalist energy sources, and the Solar Energy Research and Development Act, which would provide government funding for research into the further commercialization of environmentalist energy. [8]

In 2020, Reams led the National Clean Energy Week, a forum at which policy organizations and trade associations from both the conventional and environmentalist energy sectors came together to develop bipartisan strategies to reduce carbon emissions. [9]

Political Contributions

In 2021, Reams contributed $2,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). [10] Reams also supported former President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, contributing $950 to the Donald Trump for President PAC and $1000 to the Make America Great Again PAC. Reams also gave $1,000 to WINRED, a right-of-center PAC that directly passes donations along to the contributor’s intended political figure’s campaign. [11]

Testimony of Heather Reams, Executive Director,

Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES)

To theU.S. House of Representatives, Select Committee on Climate Crisis hearing

“Making the Case for Climate Action: Creating New Jobs and Catalyzing Economic

Growth”

April 20, 2021 Noon EDT

Chairwoman Castor, Ranking Member Graves, and Members of the Committee, thank

you for the opportunity to testify today about how climate policy can create jobs and grow the

economy.

My name is Heather Reams, and I am the Executive Director of Citizens for Responsible

Energy Solutions, also known as CRES. We are a non-profit organization that engages

policymakers and the public about responsible, conservative solutions to address climate change

while increasing America’s competitive edge. This hearing is of significant importance to CRES

because we believe that climate action does not come at the expense of American job growth or

economic expansion.

We all agree that the science says climate change needs to be addressed. Where there is

disagreement, though, is the math. Adding unnecessary cost burdens, multiplying an already “too

big to fail” bureaucracy, subtracting perfectly viable energy options and American jobs,and

dividing up our children’s future will not equal net zero. It is time for Congress to act on reason

and common sense rather than the rigidness of the activist fringe.

A sure bet is an investment in Americaninnovators, probably the most powerful source

for good the world has ever known. We must empower and protect them.

Give them access to

resources like our world-class federal laboratories and abundant private sector capital. Give them

strong intellectual property protection, especially from overseas threats.

Finally, make

government a partner in the work, not a barrier, [you mean like solyndra?] so that they can build facilities and a specialized

workforce here in the U.S. to scale up manufacturing and gain access to global markets. If we

follow this model, the United States will enjoy continued economic strength, robust job creation,

and lead the world in providing energy solutions that will result in reducing not just emissions at

home, but global emissions.

My recommendations are simple: 1. Reduce energy prices, not energy choices. 2. Export

American innovation, not American jobs; and 3. Shrink our emissions, not our economy.

Reduce energy prices - not energy choices....

“I have known Heather for over 10 years and have worked with her in two of her previous jobs. I watched her expand the Association of American Educators into an organization that provided professional development for teachers, issue education for policymakers and resources for the media. This impressive transformation was due to her strategic vision, planning and fundraising ability. Before Heather arrived at the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation,their communications program was limited to periodic grant announcements. She planned and implemented a communications program that included building a team, establishing media outreach goals, launching a social media program, redesigning the website, developing policy positions, and generating new policy-oriented content that helped the JKCF secure more media coverage that it ever had before. Heather is an incredibly skilled strategic planner, organizer and leader. Any organization would be lucky to have her!”

Is ‘clean energy’ a winning issue for GOP candidates?

Asher Price

Solar panels sit atop the roof of Austin Community College's San Gabriel campus in Leander. Some conservative groups are pressing GOP candidates to talk about clean energy initiatives as a way to appeal to moderate general election voters.

With Texas suburbs emerging as a political battleground in the November election, a constellation of conservative groups are arguing that Republican candidates should talk up a wonky issue: Clean energy.

The election likely will hinge on perceptions of President Donald Trump’s job performance, jobs and health care, as well as whether the coronavirus has been brought under control and a vaccine is in the offing, and down-and-dirty partisanship. But these groups say that Republicans signaling that they support paying for energy innovation or overhauls to the electric grid or, simply, acknowledge that the climate is changing, will be telegraphing to independents in Texas suburbs that they have a pragmatic approach to governance.

The advice comes even as the party has lashed itself to a president who has called climate change a hoax, pulled out of the Paris climate agreement, and rolled back federal environmental rules.

This summer, Trump hosted a fundraiser in Odessa and toured oil and gas facilities in Midland. He has credited himself with saving the industry, which is still reeling from nosediving prices following a geopolitical spat between Russia and Saudi Arabia and a sharp drop in demand at the start of the coronavirus outbreak.

And before Trump, Republicans opposed initiatives by the Obama administration aimed at cleaner air and water.

But support for clean energy — a fungible term that can mean anything from renewable energy such as wind and solar to “clean coal,” depending on who’s using it — signals to key voting blocs a kind of reasonableness, according to Republican pollsters.

“Support for clean energy tests very well with GOP and independent women, two groups Republican candidates need to do well with in 2020,” Republican pollster Glen Bolger, who conducted such a poll for Conservative Texans for Energy Innovation, one of the groups pushing for engagement on energy issues, announced last year. “Republican candidates in Texas will help themselves with these groups by including more messaging and support for clean energy innovation and production.”

Other groups include Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, the ClearPath Foundation, and the American Conservation Coalition.

A poll released in February by American Conservation Coalition, a climate group that aims to engage young conservatives, found 7 in 10 young voters surveyed were more likely to back a Republican candidate who accepts that climate change is real.

In some cases, the groups are endorsing candidates, such as U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and putting out campaign material to support them.

In most cases, the groups won’t disclose the source of their money.

“All the research we have says on most important segments you want for the general election, suburban women, this issue does more to flip ballot preference than any other,” said Jay Faison, founder of the ClearPath Foundation, whose mission is to “develop and advance conservative policies that accelerate clean energy innovation.”

“Clean energy is never going to be a No. 1 issue in Texas,” he continued. “Maybe 10 or 15, but it’s a proxy or indicator that a politician is willing to work with the other side and get some things done. You’re saying ‘This is important to me, and I’m not going to rubber stamp everything down the Republican policy pipeline.”

He said the group’s political arm — ClearPath Action Fund — is spending $150,000 on digital ads and mailers to promote Cornyn, who faces Democrat MJ Hegar. The mailers say Cornyn is “Fighting for a Clean Energy Future.”

Cornyn has a lifetime score of 5% from the Texas League of Conservation Voters.

“Cornyn is not leading a clean energy revolution,” said Cyrus Reed, interim director of the Lone Star chapter of the Sierra Club. “He is stuck promoting yesterday’s fossil fuels. While we cannot end our reliance on fossil fuels overnight and we need to invest in the transition, continuing to prop up existing technologies with federal subsidies is not the way to grow our economy.”

Cornyn campaign spokesman Travis Considine told the American-Statesman that energy issues are “obviously top of mind for all Texans, particularly people in West Texas,” where, he said, it comes up as a matter of livelihoods.

He said that while the senator discusses his work to help the energy industry in Texas, questions about clean energy tend not to come up much on the campaign trail outside of oil-rich West Texas.

“As an issue, (energy) comes up with voters in West Texas a lot more than in any other market,” he said.

He said the campaign hasn’t been tailoring its message on clean energy specifically to appeal to suburban voters.

ClearPath Action Fund also has endorsed eight other members of Congress, including U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Houston, who has urged Republicans to address climate change.

Crenshaw, who was first elected in 2018, represents a district anchored in the northern Houston suburbs and is rated as “likely Republican” by the Cook Political Report.

A Crenshaw campaign official said Crenshaw’s approach, which has included promoting carbon capture technology, “isn't about political signaling ... this is about actually finding solutions to climate change while protecting our economy.”

Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, an assistant dean at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas who studies women and politics, is skeptical that rhetoric about support for clean energy will do much to persuade suburban voters in this election.

“If this were 2012 and it was Biden versus Romney, maybe this would help a little,“ she said. “And if there were no COVID it might have helped a teensy bit — but not a whole lot. What we saw in 2018 was a frustration among suburban moms at the more aggressive agenda of Trump. Is clean energy a good thing and do these women like it? Sure, but in light of the volume and intensity of the Trump agenda it’s a drop in the bucket.”

Threading a needle

Republicans are likely to go with an all-of-the-above strategy on the hustings — and largely avoid talking about global warming and climate change as they try to get the party faithful to the polls.

Only 31% of Republicans who are 56 and older — people much more likely to vote — think the federal government is doing too little to reduce the consequences of climate change, according to a November 2019 poll by the Pew Research Center.

In short, talking about “clean energy” is a way for Republican candidates to thread a rhetorical needle.

“As conservatives, we fundamentally believe free markets are the key to job creation, continued innovation and technological advancements in energy production, distribution, storage and efficiency,” saidMatt Welch, who helms Conservative Texans for Clean Energy Innovationwith fellow veteran Texas political operative Kevin Brannon.

Telegraphing talking points for Republicans, Welch said that in contrast, “the proposed massive Green New Deal would wreck the national economy and erode our personal freedoms in the process.”

“Draconian, unworkable proposals underscore the need for conservatives to lead on clean energy,” he said. “When we fail to offer constructive solutions to our challenges, it makes big-government outcomes more likely.”

But, he acknowledged, part of the challenge is convincing Republicans to talk about this.

“We feel like we’re a good messenger to deliver clean energy information and advocacy for folks that need to hear it,” he told the Statesman, given his conservative bona fides — he served, for example, as campaign spokesman for Texas Attorney GeneralKen Paxton from 2016 through 2018 and was director of Texans for Lawsuit Reform, the state’s largest political action committee.

He wouldn’t say who is paying his salary.

Conservative Texans for Clean Energy Innovation “has a policy of protecting the identity of donors,” he said.

In May, a group called Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions launched a $250,000 digital campaign called Clean Energy Forward — “aimed at Republicans like Sen. Cornyn” — according to a news release — “to make clean energy a centerpiece of the nation’s economic recovery from COVID-19.”

The campaign followed a letter in April to the congressional leadership calling for an extension of subsidies for hydropower and nuclear energy and expedited environmental review for highway projects.

“An all-of-the-above approach to energy is the principal reason the U.S. has been able to grow the economy and reduce carbon emissions more than any other country over the past decade,” says the letter from Heather Reams, executive director of the organization.

Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions received $1 million from the MacArthur Foundation in 2018. The group also has received money from industry trade groups, she told the Statesman.

She said the group was formed because “when a Republican does something positive on clean energy or environment, it’s crickets. Who’s supporting Republicans on that? There’s not a whole lot.”

But she said talking about these issues in a general election “makes candidates more competitive.”

Republican environmentalism

During a clean energy boot camp for candidates, Reams said she encourages candidates to talk about energy in relation to “economic security and clean jobs.” The boot camp’s materials recommend Republican candidates, asked about climate change, say:

• “Republicans have a long history of environmental stewardship and leadership — from Teddy Roosevelt, to Richard Nixon, to George W. Bush — climate change isn’t an issue we should shy away from.”

• “Republicans don’t want to debate the science. We are focused on solutions that will create jobs today and conserve the environment for our children.”

• “Republicans are helping address climate change by advancing clean energy sources and using the free market.”

Still, some of the messages have run into a problem: Trump.

Reams’ group, for example, put up ads in 2017 encouraging the president to renegotiate or stay in the Paris climate agreement.

“Certainly it’s an uphill battle with the White House right now, a challenge to get this issue to be prioritized,” said Karly Matthews, a spokeswoman for the American Conservation Coalition.
