What you need to know + how we fix it

Friend,

Did you know there's a flaw in how we implement the most important law regulating pollution—the Clean Air Act (CAA)? And that that flaw is actually preventing us from cleaning up our air and improving communities' health?

I'll let you in on the little-known culprits: Blurry, outdated draft-version PDFs from the 90s and bizarre loopholes at the center of the CAA's air permitting system. That system is supposed to drive clean tech into every big polluting source in the country—but those old docs mean that zero emission technology often just sits on the shelf.

They are slowing, and even blocking, scale-deployment of cost-effective, clean energy technology—causing real-life impacts on the air quality of mostly Black, Brown, and low-income communities.

We break down this public health and climate problem, how we fix it, and why you might not have heard about it until now.

READ NOW: AIR PERMITTING 101

By addressing the inequitable harms of fossil fuel pollution at the source and putting the CAA to work as it was intended, we can create jobs, accelerate industrial decarbonization, and bring clean air to communities. Let's get to work.

Onward,

Craig Segall
