The Latest On: Clean Energy
Matt Vespa, Attorney, Clean Energy Program, Earthjustice: "There's this broader play by the gas industry to suggest there's some Holy Grail that will allow us to keep the gas system running as it currently does, just with a different fuel."
Sasan Sadaat, Research and Policy Analyst, California Office, Earthjustice: "You don't even have enough of this gas to make more than a dent in the overall gas demand."
Bradley Marshall, Attorney, Florida Office, Earthjustice: “Public input is critical to commissions and their decisions. They’re supposed to be representing the public’s interest and certainly the people who know best of how they’ll be affected by a decision are the people who will be affected ... Short-cutting the public out of the determination of the public interest seems very counterproductive.”
Jill Tauber, Vice President of Litigation for Climate & Energy, Earthjustice: “The last four years have been an unrelenting assault on our public health and environmental protections on an unprecedented scale. But while we’ve lost a lot of time, and while certainly there is much damage to undo, [Biden’s order to review the agency rules] is a commitment to do just that — to as swiftly as possible reverse the destructive policies of the Trump administration and also recognizing that that’s not enough.”
Isaac Moriwake, Managing Attorney, Mid-Pacific Office, Earthjustice: "This is the most consequential decision in the commission’s history in terms of its comprehensive scope and leadership vision."
Matt Vespa, Attorney, Clean Energy Program, Earthjustice: "We don't have another three years to wait on this."
