Thanks to all your hard work, we have a climate friendly White House and Congress ready to enact landmark energy transition legislation in 2021.
Trillions in stimulus dollars will be allocated in 2021. Those dollars need to be spent putting our workforce back to work transitioning our country to a renewable energy economy.
There are many issues competing for #1 priority in 2021.
Climate must win because time is running out to stay below 1.5C
