Despite the urgent need for action, the current U.S. federal administration is committed to pulling us in the wrong direction. How can we remake the energy landscape in the United States to embrace a robust clean energy and decarbonization trajectory within a decade, and do so in the face of significant political headwinds at the federal level?
