Clear the path for clean energy. \nBut now a Republican bill threatens to yank the rope back. It would hand total immunity to the companies driving our climate crisis. That would mean gutting climate superfunds that states like Vermont and New York are using to make polluters pay billions and to give Big Oil & Gas a “get-out-of-jail-free-card” from ever being held accountable for the harm they knowingly caused. \nRSVP for this virtual conversation with live Q/A\, Tuesday\, May 12.
