Hi everyone! As Sally mentioned on this morning’s call, CAP just released a column analyzing how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the renewable energy industry, and urges Congress to step up and invest in the future of clean energy in the next economic stimulus package. You can read the full column here.

I’ve included drafted social media below, if you would like to lift it up from your channels.

Thank you!

Hannah

• NEW from @amprog: With the renewable energy industry expected to see significant job losses thanks to #COVID19, it is now more important than ever for Congress to invest in this industry in an effort to sustainably rebuild the US economy. #ActOnClimate https://www.americanprogress.org/?p=483219

• The economic crash precipitated by the coronavirus pandemic is threatening the renewable energy industry - an industry we critically need if we are to do a clean rebuild of our economy post-pandemic. More via @amprog: #ActOnClimate https://www.americanprogress.org/?p=483219

• The renewable energy industry offers the promise of good, high-paying jobs after the #COVID19 pandemic - but the Trump administration has been at war with renewables. Now, it's up to Congress to fund clean energy. @amprog explains: #ActOnClimate https://www.americanprogress.org/?p=483219
