When we think about what society needs to thrive and evolve, we all agree on having a financially balanced, just, affordable, healthy, environmentally conscious, sustainable, and prosperous society. Yet, we live in a bipolar, fractured model, impossible to reconcile. Perhaps the words used to describe the facts force us to pick a side of the discussion. We might have to pay attention to who is speaking and their interests before choosing a side to defend.
Today, joining me is Jared J. Brown, a government affairs consultant and former U.S. Senate aid at Senator Hatch's office. He played a primary role in the 2005 Tax Incentives Act, which promoted advanced vehicle technologies, alternative fuels for vehicles, and alt-fuel filling stations in the United States. Jared also led the 2007 tax credit for plugin and plugin/hybrid vehicles, focused on diversify transportations fuels, making them cheaper and cleaner. He also promoted laws to enhance geothermal and renewable power generation and carbon sequestration technologies.
In this episode, we talk about the power of language and how it can either divide or help us reach our goals. We also talk about how political groups have been using language to separate American people, despite having the same goals. Jared also explains how he cut through divisive language and brought together opposing parties to enact transformative laws with massive environmental and economic impacts on the American people.
