Take A Pause for Summer 🧘‍♀️ To Recharge your Batteries 🔋 

We’re taking a newsletter pause this week to finalize our move over the Substack. This holiday weekend we’ll be recharging with family and friends and gearing up for more work to come. It’s been a very long six months in the climate community, and it’s a good time to take a moment to replenish and renew.

OBBBA Fallout 🏭️ 

It’s not law yet, but the passage of the OBBBA looks more certain every moment. A wide-ranging behemoth of destruction, it will erode the foundations of America’s prosperity, hurt Americans health, increase emissions, decrease resilience, and grow the deficit to unmanageable levels. On the climate front, the OBBBA looks poised to destroy the clean energy industry and drive up energy rates for every American in the coming years. This summer we’ll be keeping an eye out for efforts to stave off the worst impacts and fight for clean energy in the face of it.
