Dear John,
Through the Inflation Reduction Act and other programs, the federal government has unleashed unprecedented investment in our transition to green, renewable energy. While these investments are vital to our clean energy future, there is unfinished business in the government’s approach to our energy transition. Even as more clean energy projects are approved and built, fossil fuels continue to make up a large portion of our energy diet. If we wish to meet our climate goals and stave off the worst effects of climate change, we must reject an “all-of-the-above” energy approach and wind down fossil fuel usage while simultaneously increasing our green energy production.
Join the Roosevelt Institute on Wednesday, October 9 for a webinar to discuss the unfinished business of winding down fossil fuel energy. We will be joined by Roosevelt Institute Fellow Kate Aronoff, recent author of Green Industrial Policy’s Unfinished Business: A Publicly Managed Fossil Fuel Wind-Down and Roosevelt Senior Fellow and former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Sarah Bloom Raskin. Introduced by the Roosevelt Institute’s Deputy Director of Climate Policy Kristina Karlsson, Kate and Sarah will discuss why markets alone are insufficient to manage the fossil fuel wind-down and the ways in which the public sector must take the lead in the transition away from fossil fuels.
We hope to see you there,
