Signed an open letter to lawmakers in July 2020 , sponsored by the Environmental Defense Fund. We support increased investments in clean energy infrastructure and grid modernization, the creation of new clean energy jobs, greater integration of renewable resources such as wind and solar, and improved energy efficiency. It’s clear that we must double down on clean energy infrastructure to put Americans back to work and come back stronger and cleaner than before this pandemic-driven recession.
