Senate Energy Package a Positive Step Toward Climate Goals

WASHINGTON — Third Way released the following statement from Josh Freed, Senior Vice President of Third Way’s Climate and Energy Program:

“There are smart, concrete steps that can make a difference today in tackling climate change. The Senate proposal, especially when paired with similar policies moving though the House, would accelerate innovation in wind, solar, geothermal, advanced nuclear, energy storage, carbon capture, and other technologies that are critical in getting to net-zero by 2050 at the latest,” said Josh Freed, Senior Vice President of Third Way’s Climate and Energy Program. “We aren’t going to solve the climate crisis – especially in this Congress – with a single legislative sweep. We absolutely should seize the opportunities we have, especially when they could help us create more of the affordable clean energy tools we need to get to zero.”
