Carbonator in DC
Thought I'd drop in and add my first carbonator alum post. So, I'm living in DC. For those who don't know, I am the Global Warming Legislative Fellow at the National Wildlife Federation. For at least the next year or so, I'll be here fighting the war on global warming. So far, it's been awesome. I'm mainly providing support in several capacities to our global warming solutions team. But I've also had the opportunity to attend a bunch of briefings on the hill, as well as strategy meetings with all sorts of environmental groups. I've been learning about all the ins and outs of climate and energy policy at the national and international levels. No doubt, information overload is common in grad school, but hanging around all these policy wonks is a whole other story. Sometimes, trying to absorb it all is like trying to drink from a fire hose. For all those who might be wondering, things here are looking more promising... we're getting closer to a deal. I'll keep you posted.

I want the inside scoop, Ryan. Is it cap and dividend? What do you think of that? It sounds pretty promising to me, but what do I know, now a complete beltway outsider.
Your work sounds awesome!
I used to work for NWF in D.C. (the public lands division under Sean McMahon). I bet a lot of the same people are there--I miss it sometimes! I bet you'll love it there!
