.@mlavelles notes that @SenWhitehouse wants to get carbon border adjustment mechanisms in the reconciliation bill. This is a policy Manchin has expressed interest in.
.@SiegelScribe doesn't see how CBAM can come together in reconciliation because the policy needs to be paired with a domestic price on carbon. "It's just a tariff if there's no domestic piece."

How can volunteers pitch solutions to reporters?
@mlavelles: "It's the journey, not the end that I would talk about. You're doing the really difficult thing of talking to politicians who aren't engaged in this issue."

On Republican climate and energy plan:
@SiegelScribe: "It's hard to imagine 10 years ago Republicans would feel the need to put out a plan on climate change."
