It’s #WillowWednesday. Today, we have some required reading.

Dr. Rosemary Ahtuangaruak is mayor of Nuiqsut, Alaska. @ConocoPhillips' disastrous Willow Project would directly harm her hometown, which she outlines in her op-ed for @thehill.

thehill.com/opinion/energy… Nuiqsut is a stone’s throw away from the Willow Project, the proposed oil drilling site in Alaska’s Western Arctic.

Dr. Ahtuangaruak underscores the importance of defending Indigenous peoples’ right to clean air and water, food security, and culture.

Historic climate legislation is now law. And it is a massive opportunity for state leaders across the country.

Here is a roundup of what IRA could mean for states —especially if they take full advantage and invest boldly in their clean energy economies ⬇️ Wisconsin wpr.org/clean-energy-a…

Today belongs to every voter, activist, and leader in the climate movement who refused to take no for an answer and demanded bold action from the president and Democrats in Congress.

Full statement: evergreenaction.com/press/evergree… The climate and clean energy investments in the IRA will save countless lives and catalyze America’s transition to an equitable and thriving clean energy economy, creating millions of new good-paying jobs and lowering energy costs for households across the country along the way.

If passed, the Build Back Better Act framework @POTUS announced yesterday would be a transformational down payment to confront the climate crisis and build an equitable, thriving clean energy economy.

33 tweet🧵 on the climate investments in the framework and why they matter 👇 1⃣ The BBBA framework includes roughly $320 billion in tax incentives for

✅ Clean electricity
✅ Electric vehicles
✅ Clean buildings
✅ Clean industries & manufacturing
✅ and more

@POTUS’ Build Back Better Act Framework could deliver the most significant climate investment in U.S. history—reducing carbon pollution, advancing environmental justice, and creating millions of good jobs building our clean energy future.

evergreenaction.com/press/with-bui… The framework contains transformative investments Evergreen has fought for like:

✅ Robust clean energy tax credits
✅ Environmental justice investments
✅ A Green Energy Accelerator
✅ A Civilian Climate Corps

Now, Congress must get it done.

Tomorrow, fossil fuel execs. and industry reps. will finally testify before @RepRoKhanna, Rep @AOC, @RepCori, @RepRashida, and others in Congress.

We'll be livetweeting the event—but first, a reminder of the FF industry's long history of corruption and lies on climate 🧵👇 .@ExxonMobil has a FOUR-DECADE HISTORY of discrediting climate science that includes actively burying their *own* early research.

The Build Back Better Act must deliver on @POTUS’ commitment to halve climate pollution by 2030.

The bill's clean energy tax credits are critical to that effort. 🧵 on what they are, Evergreen's role shaping them, and why they must be protected (or expanded) in the final bill.👇 The latest version of BBBA includes ~$300B in clean energy tax credits for:

✅ Clean electricity
✅ Clean transportation
✅ Clean manufacturing & industry
✅ Clean buildings

Together, these tax credits are by far the largest driver of pollution reductions in the BBBA.
