What Wyoming shows about going 'carbon negative' in coal country | E&E News

Karly Matthews, vice president of communications for the American Conservation Coalition, which represents young Republicans concerned about climate change, said the group was “encouraged” to see a Republican governor speaking forcefully about climate change.

“It’s so important to bring traditional energy communities along and empower them in the energy transition,” Matthews said. “We need practical solutions like carbon capture and nuclear energy. A Republican governor talking about those strategies encourages those communities and makes climate action seem more approachable.”
