Washington, D.C. —  In response to the presidential election results, Climate Power Executive Director Lori Lodes released the following statement:

“Our nation and planet are better off because of Kamala Harris’ bold leadership. Throughout her tenure as vice president and her career in public service, she has stood up for working people, fought to protect us from corporate greed, improved economic opportunity for all, and told us the truth, even when it was hard. She did the same thing in this campaign, and it’s up to all of us to protect the democracy we hold dear and the bold climate progress she and President Biden pushed forward. 

“Let’s be clear: Any attempt to repeal our country’s clean energy progress will fail. Our clean energy boom is here to stay. Americans will stand up in overwhelming and bipartisan numbers to defeat any attempt from Trump to destroy those jobs.

“Americans want a future where home-grown ingenuity fuels our economy, where our supply chains are built here at home, where energy costs are lower, and where our children are free to breathe clean air and drink clean water. Hundreds of thousands of new clean energy jobs are putting people to work in communities all over the United States and, already, families are saving billions of dollars.

“Climate Power is ready to do everything it takes to protect our climate and clean energy progress.”
