Jettisoning Climate Bill Would Be an Enormous Mistake

Washington, DC—The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released the following statement from Steven Nadel, its executive director, in response to news reports on Senator Joe Manchin’s comments on enacting major climate and energy investments:

“Congress has been considering historic investments to help mitigate the climate crisis, including investments in energy efficiency that would reduce energy costs for households and businesses. Jettisoning those plans would be an enormous mistake. We hope this plan will be revived, but with every delay, aggressive executive actions to reduce costly energy waste only become more urgent for consumers and for the climate.”
