think tank

The four-day ROTHBURY music and camping festival is being promoted as a “cultural assembly; one where music fans, artists and progressive thinkers gather to celebrate much more than music.” It is Rothbury’s goal to harness the unique energy of the live music community into a durable social movement toward an important cause: Climate Change and Clean Energy Alternatives.

Panelists outline proposals from the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities designed at directing a percentage of allowances from a carbon cap-and-trade toward low-income Americans to hold them harmless from increased costs associated with climate change solutions.
