HOW DO WE IMPLEMENT THESE TOOLS?

A conversation with NYTimes Ezra Klein with Bill McKibbon

” the Biden administration…passed a huge series of climate bills. The Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. It’s about $450 billion in climate investment…
“new agencies, and standards, and mandates and goals. And even more than that, those bills and that politics has been a signal to the private sector which is investing here, to lots of young people who are going into climate tech and climate activism, to all kinds of members of the building trades who are reorganizing and retooling and retraining to know how to build everything we’re going to need to build, to electrify, to weatherize. It’s big. What has to happen in the coming years is big. And we can’t just expect that it’ll happen on its own.”
