DNC Failing On Climate. Governor Inslee, who is running on the climate platform, took to Twitter yesterday and let us know that the DNC has declined to host a debate solely focused on climate change. Not only did they decline but they will ban him from future debates if he attends an unsanctioned debate.
Support From Warren. Senator Warren retweeted the Governor and said the issue is too important to run away from. (See the tweet) Warren understands that the middle class she is fighting to expand has plenty of opportunity in clean energy and has unveiled a clean energy manufacturing program. Companies like Quick Mount PV, which manufacturers in Walnut Creek California not only grows jobs in sales and operations throughout the country but also expands aluminum manufacturing and logistics jobs similar to those in the auto sector for example.
The Climate Tide Has Shifted. Biden will be the 17th Presidential candidate to sign the no fossil fuel money pledge and most major campaigns have unveiled trillion dollar plans to speed up the clean energy transition focused on a time sensitive decarbonization effort. AOC and the Sunrise Movement have made the Green New Deal mainstream and Congressman Massie of Kentucky brags about the solar on his house. Voters want to learn more about what some consider the most important issue in politics today, there is no downside in the DNC sponsoring this debate. The host of Political Climate, Julia Pyper, has offered to moderate the debate!
More From Biden. Biden released a 5 minute video talking about climate and clean energy.
Trade Issues For Solar. Keep your eyes on the tariff Trump is threatening on Mexican imports. Much of the plan B for Chinese tariffs involved Mexico and Trump knows that. The Senate republicans look like they may push back on it however but the power of tariffs heavily relies on the President.
