Outlook April 2026: Pro touch

Indiana Outreach Liaison Kacey Shriner and her million-dollar smile.

Dear EcoRight Supporter,

Real pros are real helpful. That’s the way it was in March in Indiana, and the way that we hope it continues in the months to come.

Kacey Shriner of Indianapolis is the pro that comes to mind. She’s our Indiana Outreach Liaison. She’s long been involved in Indiana politics and policy. She’s well known and well liked. She’s built relationships. She’s credible and principled. She knows how to plan and execute events. And she’s somewhere in the 99th percentile of enthusiasm!

Kacey invested that credibility, expertise and enthusiasm in arranging a series of events for us in Indianapolis in March. At her direction, we co-hosted a lunch with the Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy that gave participants a chance to tour the solar operation at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

A full house at Indianapolis’ The Rejoicing Vine on March 12th.

Deeply embedded in the Christian community in Indy, Kacey organized a faith and stewardship dinner for us at The Rejoicing Vine, Indiana’s only regenerative agriculture winery. The place was packed. The conversation was good. The word was spread—with a pro touch.

It’s a touch that you make possible by your financial support, and we thank you!

All the best,

Bob

Video Shorts

In March, republicEn made a foray into the world of YouTube Shorts. Our videos showcase clips of each week’s episode of the EcoRight Speaks podcast. We also feature highlights from our events across the country, such as Bob and Angela’s trip to the solar farm at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The initial numbers from YouTube are encouraging. Our channel views have more than tripled compared to the previous month, and engagement with our videos have increased more than twofold.

Podcast

Season 12 is cruising right along with 4 new-to-us guests, including two from the Niskanen Center and an engaging author/climate scientist from Canada. As mentioned above, we added a video clip feature to our YouTube library, which has increased our listenership. Looking ahead to April, we will feature conversations centered around transmission, geothermal, and sustainability.
