Career
[edit]Ranney has worked with three U.S. Presidents throughout her career, including Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and his transition team, and Ronald Reagan.

In a discussion at the Aspen Institute in 2013, with CNN founder Ted Turner and environmental analyst Lester R. Brown, Ranney suggested that a binding international treaty might be needed to tackle the global energy crisis.[4] She is a co-founder of the American Renewable Energy Institute,[5] where she has participated in discussions on climate-related issues alongside prominent leaders in the field. In a discussion with former president Jimmy Carter in 2014, she asked if he still stood by his assertion that Americans lacked a moral responsibility when it came to protecting the environment.[6][7]
