This is a huge win. Here's what it mean for us and the planet.

GOOD NEWS: The Biden administration just released new
standards to curb climate-busting pollution from the nation’s
power plants

The rules will cut carbon emissions from the single largest
industrial source, driving down climate risk and driving up clean
energy investment. Help us keep the momentum going — and elect
climate champions this November.

Dear NRDC Action Fund
Supporter,

Pressing the climate fight on an
essential new front, the Biden administration released new
standards last week to end the age of unbridled carbon pollution
from the nation’s power plants.

The rules will cut, at last, carbon
emissions from the single largest industrial source, driving down
climate risk and driving up clean energy investment.

That caps a climate action grand slam for
President Biden — and a major win for NRDC and NRDC Action Fund
supporters, who sent nearly 35,000 messages in support of strong
carbon standards, and nine of whom testified at public hearings
on the rules. Your voices were heard.

In addition to cleaning up the power
sector, Biden has championed powerful incentives to spur a
heartland manufacturing renaissance with clean energy at its
core; set rules to cut emissions of methane, a climate
super-pollutant; and created new standards to cut carbon dioxide
and other pollution from cars and trucks.

Taken together and done right, these
measures position the country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
by more than 40% below 2005 levels by 2030, as the science says
we must to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

There’s more to be done, of course.

That’s why we at the NRDC Action Fund are
advancing our work to re-elect President Biden and elect as many
climate champions as possible to Congress and in state houses and
city halls across the country. ( [link removed] )

The alternative, after all, is Donald
Trump.

Trump spent four years repealing
commonsense rules crafted to clean up carbon pollution from cars,
trucks, and power plants. He also sowed public distrust in
climate science, routinely omitting or blocking publication of
government data on the impact of climate change on natural
disasters. His loyalty to the fossil fuel industry set the
country back a generation or more in the existential fight of our
time.

And it’s no secret that a second Trump
term would be even worse. Trump has already vowed to repeal
Biden’s new pollution standards and repudiate the U.S.’s climate
commitments on the global stage.

Last year alone, the hottest on record,
dangerous heat waves put two-thirds of the United States at risk;
drought sent the Mississippi River to record lows; and wildfires
burned enough land across Canada to cover the state of Oklahoma.

All of that, and more, gets worse unless
we press the fight to break our dependence on fossil fuels and
invest in a clean energy future. Biden’s driving a strategy to
make it happen — and it’s working.

But to win big in November, we need as
many pro-environment voters as possible to get to the polls — and
that’s where you can help. Join our All In for Climate Action
community to get involved now. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Manish Bapna
