A B O U T _GREG HAMRA

Climate Solutionist helping academic, government, and business leaders drive the low-carbon economy through Education, Advocacy and clean energy



Aspirational, goal-based programs like the Paris Accord, SDGs, and GND are ambitious goals lacking a vehicle.


Command & control regulations have proven their failure to address the scale of this growing, systemic, global threat.
(Regulations are neither. H.R. 763 is all three.)

We need to move big and move fast. Because winning slowly is the same as losing.

Getting this right is critical. Getting it wrong is catastrophic.
We'll not decarbonize the future before de-profitizing carbon.

The vehicle is here: H.R. 763 - The EnergyInnovationAct.org
 It's GO time. Let's go!

H.R. 763 media, interviews, op-eds

--------------------
Who says we should price carbon?

Top economists from across the political spectrum agree.

150 U.S. municipalities also agree and endorse the very same, a fee & dividend approach.

First city in USA to pass resolution supporting HR 763 - Energy Innovation Act is City of South Miami. Learn more.

Thought-leaders worldwide including major corporations, top economists and leading scientists, all know the most economically effective way to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to come into compliance with the UN Paris accord, and to reduce GHGs in a way that protects the economy is to price carbon. Over 1000 companies are doing this internally already. They're preparing for economy-wide carbon pricing and reducing risk. Oil companies are even asking for it. Why? A revenue-neutral carbon tax is considered the Holy Grail of Climate Action. Learn more with Citizens' Climate Lobby. Attend the weekly intro call. Attend a monthly meeting. Join CCL. It's free.
