Alexandra Carter, our Policy Director, had this to say:
“Climate-driven sea level rise, storms, and temperature increases are wreaking havoc on coastal cities and ecosystems. It is urgent that the United States move quickly away from its reliance on fossil fuels and toward a clean energy economy to stem the tide of climate impacts. The President’s announcement is a strong signal of our intentions as a nation to phase out drilling and invest in justly sourced renewable energy sources that will support and protect coastal communities and ecosystems.” Alexandra Carter
