Climate wins keep rolling in, and they’re due entirely to your hard work and continued advocacy.
In the past couple of months, the White House has announced:
- A sweeping set of rules and regulations for power plants that will cut emissions, prevent coal plants from leaking toxic mercury into our land, air, and water, reform the permitting process, and speed the U.S.’ transition to a clean energy economy.
- A 7 billion dollar grant is being issued to 60 selectees through the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) Solar for All grant program, bringing low cost solar to over 900,000 low-income and disadvantaged American households and creating thousands of jobs.
- A 20 billion dollar grant through the IRA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund will fund development of clean energy projects across the United States. This green investment will create family-sustaining jobs, improve healthcare outcomes, lower energy costs, and generate untold other benefits.
- Millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness—including areas around the Arctic National Park and Preserve—are off-limits to fossil fuel polluters, and that drilling is banned in more than half of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
As always, none of this would be possible without your involvement! These climate wins are a testament to the continued work of you, the climate movement, and frontline communities around the world. Thank you for standing with us, young climate activists, and the communities working tirelessly to address the climate crisis and usher in a renewable future.
