It’s been less than a day and The Conservative Environmentalist is already a best-seller!
The outpour of support from today’s launch makes it clear: people want an environmental movement that also prioritizes our quality of life, economy, & country.
This is just the beginning!
Just got canceled to speak at a climate change reform event because of a past tweet where I linked COVID-19 to the country of China. They claimed it was racially insensitive.
Absurd.
Candace Owens: "I'm not a flat earther. I'm not a round earther. Actually, what I am is I am somebody who has left the cult of science... Science is a pagan faith."
I swear, the MAGA movement is a magnet for the dumbest segments of American society. 💩
I’ve been on the frontlines speaking out against racism for the past few weeks, months, and years. To be canceled for being “racist” because I linked COVID to China really sucks...and exposes why so many people are frustrated with the division in our country right now.
The alt-right and white nationalists came to my house. They posted fliers with my face all over campus. They told me they’d kill me.
White nationalism is a cancer to society. It exists. We have to recognize that...as conservatives, liberals, and Americans. They’re terrorists.
On Saturday afternoon,

While Phillip was being stabbed four times across his upper body, Chris somehow tackled the attacker, found a way for
"Too many young Americans are being convinced that the only way to save the planet is to reject capitalism. The opposite is true. Only countries that succeed economically have the resources and political will to demand a cleaner environment." -

A few years ago, I spoke up against
@Kaepernick7
kneeling during the National Anthem. While it’s still not what I’d *personally* do, I want to apologize for being so ignorant about the issue of racism in its entirety—all these years later.
To put it into perspective, Tomi is a 20-something who made it big by saying offensive things & being angry.
John McCain, the medically-ill man she’s mocking, made it big by serving our country, saving American lives, being a PoW, & being one of the most well respected Senators.
Tomi Lahren, on a day the McCain family announces
@SenJohnMcCain
is ending medical treatment, says ‘we can’t put up another RINO like McCain and Flake’
Kamala Harris refusing to debate on Fox News — and Donald Trump refusing to debate on ABC — tells you all you need to know about American politics.
Our “leaders” are too afraid to leave their echo chambers. They don’t want to solve problems, they want to look good.
To be clear for all the media and folks asking, they have refused to send over any examples of these “insensitive” tweets (*cough*: cowards). Anyone can go digging if they want.
The Washington Post just released a fascinating report on state-by-state energy consumption, showing which states are decarbonizing the fastest — and how they're doing it.
The results go against everything you've heard in the mainstream narrative.
SHORT THREAD:
COVID has taught us that the world is far more interconnected that we originally thought...we can’t always put ourselves first at the expense of others.
It’s also made us realize that we are far too dependent on—and gracious to—China.
Avg individual income in East Palestine, OH = $28k
This is yet another example of low-income Americans being disproportionately impacted by environmental disasters & being left in the dust by the gov't.
If this was in Martha's Vineyard or Aspen, it would be handled differently.
Joe Rogan: “Do you think we have to care about the environment?”
Candace Owens: (laughs) “not even a little bit.”
If this is the future of the conservative movement, there isn’t a future of the conservative movement.
Never in a million years did I think I would be an NRA member--I'm not a hunter or sportsman. But the full-on attack against this organization, which empowers law-abiding gun owners to protect themselves, prompted me to join.

A common question being asked this week: is wind energy to blame for the energy crisis in Texas?
The answer is no.
People are simply dunking on wind energy to score political points.
Reached out to one of my favorite bands to try to work with them on promotion for climate change reform and this was the response.
2020 polarization is awesome and so fulfilling🙄
Nuclear power is the most efficient *and* safe form of clean energy.
It’s also the only current form of clean energy to have the capability of powering millions of people at the scale needed to fight climate change.
It is far past time for us to stop demonizing nuclear energy.
The anger over
@benshapiro
on college campuses proves the massive intolerance of the left. Ben is a standup individual who doesn’t incite violence, spew hatred, or marginalize anyone. He’s respectable in the utmost degree. The left despises him ONLY over a difference in opinion.
I’m the biggest fan of Teddy, but a lot of us (including me) could have benefited from seeing the statue before freaking out about its removal.
Not ideal—or reflective of his leadership—which is why his family supported taking it down.
2020 has been a brutal year for America.
Yet, the biggest investment for National Parks & public lands in recent history was signed into law today. It’s a HUGE win for our economy/environment.
Best of all, it heralded from *bipartisan* leadership & the help of

As someone who lives in Seattle, Seattle is *not* fine. I had a gun pulled on me while grocery shopping as a freshman in college. Homelessness is running rampant. Crime is getting much worse. The city is becoming more radical every day.
You’re doing nothing about it.
I'm incredibly pro-vaccine, but skeptics of the vaccine are now far less likely to get it. They don't want to be told what to do...and now they will trust the vaccine even less.
Mandates do not cause desired behaviors to happen.
Frustrating.
COVID has taught us that the world is far more interconnected that we originally thought...we can’t always put ourselves first at the expense of others.
It’s also made us realize that we are far too dependent on—and gracious to—China.
The top six states with clean energy are powered primarily by nuclear or hydropower.
Not solar or wind.
Whether they know it or not, when "environmentalists" advocate against hydropower and nuclear, they advocate for INCREASING fossil fuels.

With the recent dialogue about Candace Owens, I thought I’d share this story.
A couple of years ago, I wrote an op-ed for a national publication that Candace also contributed to. In the op-ed, I respectfully critiqued her denial of climate change after she was challenged on Joe
Socialism sucks and it doesn’t work.
But instead of slamming on people who support it, we need to understand why they feel the need to support it and convey why other alternatives are truly better.
I’ve met Greta Thunberg. I’ve testified at Congress with her. While I disagree with some of her politics, she’s courageous, kind, and fighting for the right reasons. She’s made a profound positive impact at a young age. There’s no reason to go after her.
Comparing
@NikkiHaley
to al-Qaeda (as a way of fear-mongering) is the most desperate argument yet from a Democratic candidate...and that’s saying a lot.
Trump says he doesn't want war with Iran, but that's exactly what he wants, because that's exactly what Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu, al-Qaeda, Bolton, Haley, and other NeoCons/NeoLibs want. That’s what he put first--not America.
California wildfires in 2020 emitted 30% more CO2 into the atmosphere than California’s entire fossil fuel usage in 2020.
Forest management needs to be prioritized as a climate solution.
As Bernie succeeds again this evening, it’s important to understand the perils of socialism. Socialism has been disastrous for countries around the world.
On the environment—a top socialist issue—it’s no different.
We need to defeat socialism in 2020.
I am simply *not* going to apologize to the people in my mentions who are upset with me for having an environmental conversation with a Senator across the party line.
Step 1: log off Twitter
Step 2: talk to real people
Step 3: realize Twitter has zero representation of how everyday people feel
Step 4: stop tweeting things to stir the pot & create division for your own personal gain
ERCOT, Texas' electric grid overseer, said just 13% of the outages were due to wind energy being forced offline. The remaining 87% were other sources of energy, including traditional energy sources. Governor Abbott acknowledged this today.
Chris Pratt being canceled over his conservative political views explains why 50% (+) of America feels utterly left behind.
It's absurd that people think they can keep dismissing people for their beliefs...and then expect them to simply fall in line with their own.
Ultimately, I want to say I’m sorry to those in minority communities. My ignorance stemmed from a lack of understanding (that I’ll always have), as well as the hope that the world is more equitable than it actually is.
You can count on me to be an advocate & ally moving forward.
Twitter, meet my best friend, girlfriend, and so much more, Elsah.
Elsah messaged me on LinkedIn nearly three years ago after hearing me on a podcast. We followed each other on social media for two years before I finally mustered up the courage to ask her out last summer.

Neither major political party is “fiscally conservative”
That’s especially disappointing since there’s a party that claims to be...and literally wins elections off it
By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.
COVID is real. It’s a threat.
However, the double-standard for social distancing/gatherings is also real.
Protests = ok
Celebrations after an election = ok
Anything else = not ok
After today, it’s time for the GOP to return to its roots.
It’s time for the GOP to return as the party of decency, fiscal responsibility, American innovation, belief in all Americans, and the American dream.
The facts of climate change:
-the climate is changing. Partially due to nature, partially because of humans
-we should take bold steps to reduce *global* emissions
-we have time to fix this issue. It’s serious...but the world isn’t ending
-technology and innovation are the answer
