The clean energy transition is moving faster than many people realize—but it can also be slowed more easily than most of us expect.
🚘 Good news: More than one-quarter of vehicles sold globally are now electric, and some of the biggest growth is being seen in countries like Vietnam and Turkey.
✋ Not-so-good news: Clean energy progress can be slowed by just one determined opponent and the resulting delays can be costly. A four-year delay in a single wind project opposed by one adamant retiree resulted in emissions equivalent to those of 2 million gas-powered cars in a year 🤯
🏘️ What you can do: Local decisions matter. Town halls, hearings, and public comments shape our future: and they only work if people show up. You don’t need to be an expert; your voice can make a real difference.
