As the Trump administration cuts clean energy and climate programs, these states know rising electricity costs and climate disasters mean we need to increase clean energy and climate resources, not take them away.

Your weekly resource to learn what the environmental movement is saying about the news of the day and the political fight of our generation. This week, we’re covering attacks on clean energy development from the Trump administration and efforts to raise awareness of the harms of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

Each month, LCV shares five stories about the impact of our work. This month, we’re focusing on how we opposed the Big Ugly Bill and what’s next — along with more than a dozen state-level clean energy wins, new commitments in Maine and Ohio, and new clean water protections in Texas.

This month, we’re celebrating new bills introduced by climate champions in Congress, as well as big climate legislation and investment wins in six states across the country.

This year, in legislatures and governors’ offices across the country, we have already seen champions announce ambitious new plans and seek to “Trump-proof” climate goals. In the memo below we’ve laid out new state level clean energy legislation, proposed public transportation and electric vehicle investments, and actions taken to hold the biggest polluters accountable.
