Clean Energy Year In Review 2018: Reversing Trump Administration Rollbacks

Many of us learned in high school about Newton’s third law of physics: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. 2018 was a lesson in physics: the Trump administration’s furious assault on pollution protections has, in turn, catalyzed a powerful and growing movement that is pushing back against these misguided rollback attempts. This year was filled with signs that the climate resistance momentum is building, as state champions and businesses are heeding the mounting wake-up calls from scientists to redouble efforts to accelerate the transition to clean energy. The progress is widespread and gaining momentum, from renewable energy commitments to strides in energy efficiency to get more electric vehicles on the road.
