SUMMARY:Livestream: The Good News on Renewables (And the Threat That Could Undo It)
DESCRIPTION:Join our free livestream on May 12 @ 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT to hear the good news — despite Trump’s best efforts\, renewable energy keeps winning! It’s a tug of war\, and we’re pulling ahead. \nOur job? Keep winning on renewables. Stop fossil fuel infrastructure. Fight immunity bills and polluter giveaways. 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. Celebrate the good news. Understand the threat. And take collective action for a clean energy future! \nRoddy Hughes\nroddy.hughes@sierraclub.org
