The fossil fuel industry is challenging a first-of-its-kind law meant to protect the wallets of Vermont families and businesses who are currently paying to cleanup and repair damage after extreme storms caused by climate change.
The Massachusetts legislature passed, and Governor Maura Healey has signed, a climate law that may be the first step toward a clean, reliable, and economical grid that will be less prone to outages and more resistant to extreme weather.
The Inflation Reduction Act, the most extensive climate legislation ever passed in the United States, is now under threat thanks to Donald Trump’s pledge to unravel it.
On behalf of every family and business affected by extreme weather, I demanded accountability and accuracy from our government.
CLF will continue to counter Trump and make climate and environmental progress in the next four years.
It includes people in climate solutions, strengthens our electric system, and paves the way for more clean energy.
Conservation Law Foundation has opposed the State of Vermont’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by CLF to hold the Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources accountable after she failed to ensure the state is on track to reduce climate-damaging emissions.

Supercharged storms are rampaging through towns and cities like a bull liberated from a pen, crashing through a fragile utility infrastructure that, in many cases, has not changed in a century. U tility companies submit to the onslaught of storms, repair the damage, then obediently wait for more and do it all over again.
