SUMMARY:Making Progress on Climate Change During the Second Trump Administration
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion about how to make progress on climate change during the Trump Administration. The president-elect has promised to reduce energy prices by 50% within 12-18 months, but aims to deliver on that pledge by promoting the oil and gas industry rather than cheaper energy options like solar+storage ( https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/lcoe-and-value-adjusted-lcoe-for-solar-pv-plus-battery-storage-coal-and-natural-gas-in-selected-regions-in-the-stated-policies-scenario-2022-2030 ). This contradiction provides an opening for us to highlight a quintessential David vs. Goliath story. On the one side is corporate power that raises domestic costs by exporting energy abroad, lobbies for production subsidies, pollutes communities, and builds expensive and highly-subsidized electricity plants (lately driven by AI and data center projections). On the other side are regular people defending their families and neighborhoods from industrial development and pollution. By putting people first and holding the industry accountable, we can cut harmful pollution and face up to abusive corporate power.\nSpeakers:\n\nBethany Davis Noll ( https://stateimpactcenter.org/about/center-staff/bethany-davis-noll ), Executive Director, NYU State Energy and Environmental Impact Center\nJim Walsh ( https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/staff/ ), Policy Director, Food & Water Watch\nTyson Slocum ( https://www.citizen.org/about/person/tyson-slocum/ ), Director-Energy Program, Public Citizen\nMatt Tejada ( https://www.nrdc.org/bio/matthew-tejada ), Senior VP-Environmental Health, NRDC\nMahyar Sorour ( https://www.sierraclub.org/other/authors/mahyar-sorour ), Director of Beyond Fossil Fuels Policy, Sierra Club\nModerator: Sarah Brennan ( https://rffund.org/about/staff ), Associate Director, Rockefeller Family Fund & Funder Collaborative on Oil and Gas\n\nWebinar Registration\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4IfqyOEGThKW5GvKLOe2pA ( https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4IfqyOEGThKW5GvKLOe2pA )\nAfter registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nPlease send any questions about this webinar to hsong@rffund.org ( mailto:hsong@rffund.org ).\n
