Friend,
A 100% Clean Electricity Standard (CES) is the best next move in the fight against the climate crisis, and we've got a plan for Democrats to pass it—Mitch McConnell and the fossil fuel filibuster be damned.
Professor Leah Stokes and I hosted a short explainer video that breaks down how Democrats can pass a Clean Electricity Standard without Republican support. (Hint, in just one word: reconciliation.) Will you watch and share the video with your friends and family today?
If anything is going to stop the CES, it's not going to be voters—two-thirds of Americans support it! It's not going to be President Biden—the CES is a central tenet of his Build Back Better agenda! It'll be the usual suspects: Mitch McConnell and the fossil fuel filibuster.
But if Democrats follow our roadmap, not even McConnell can stop them. Watch and share our video to spread the word that Democrats can pass a CES all by themselves—and why now is the time to do it.
