POTUS invoke the Defense Production Act now to get us to renewables faster!

The impacts of the humanitarian tragedy in Ukraine are being felt not just in Europe–where electricity, heating, and food costs are set to soar–but here in the U.S. as the price of oil and gas skyrockets. Mr. President, you can deploy your executive powers to weaken the geopolitical power of fossil fuels, address the climate emergency, and prevent further mass suffering. I urge you to utilize the Defense Production Act to ramp up the deployment of renewable energy to transition the world off fossil fuels and generate millions of good quality, union jobs. The DPA can provide the historic opportunity to produce alternatives to fossil fuels, fight the climate emergency, combat the stranglehold that Putin and other dictators have on the world’s energy economy, and support the transition to a renewable and just economy. Please invoke it now! Thanks.
