The U.S. is cutting emissions, but not fast enough to meet its climate goals. This cause focuses on reducing greenhouse-gas pollution and speeding up affordable clean energy like solar, wind, and electric vehicles. Winning means stronger federal rules and/or laws that lock in bigger emissions cuts and make clean energy easier to build.

Clean energy is moving faster than policy
Why this matters now
Climate impacts are already hitting people across the U.S. Hurricanes, drought, heat waves, and wildfires can damage homes, disrupt work and school, and make the air unsafe to breathe.
These disasters cost tens of billions of dollars each year and can raise health risks like heatstroke and breathing problems from wildfire smoke. Cutting greenhouse-gas emissions and expanding clean energy helps lower future risk while supporting new energy projects and manufacturing.
What's blocking progress
Policy is stuck in partisan fights and legal challenges, even as technology and public support move ahead. Slow permitting and grid limits can also delay new clean energy projects.
