Presentation Summary:
We are in danger of missing a crucial window of action to limit the negative effects of climate change. Although renewable energy is a “superhero” as well, it can steal the spotlight from two other necessary and underrepresented solutions: a carbon free and nuclear power. We’ll dive into the facts and numbers on these solutions, why they are needed, and how we can advocate for the bipartisan (!) Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019 (HR 763) which was introduced in the House of Representatives in January.
