A majority of Americans across party lines support action to address climate change and promote clean energy. Unfortunately, the Trump administration has taken a page from the establishment playbook and set up its federal agencies to do the bidding of polluters by taking us back to the reckless and dangerous policies that put the dirty energy industry's profits ahead of the health and safety of Americans. It's clear that under Trump, the federal government is now led by those who are intent on slowing the transition to a clean energy economy, and this failed leadership is bad for business, bad for public health, and bad for the economy. But the shift to a clean energy economy is already underway, driven by market forces, bolstered by consumer demand, and supported by major American companies that are already investing in clean energy.
