[00:00:07] Speaker A: Wait, what's that? [00:00:09] Speaker B: There's a lot going on right now when it comes to energy policy in the United States, so it can be hard to make sense of it all. [00:00:14] Speaker A: There are definitely some positive steps, like increasing investments in wind and solar. [00:00:17] Speaker B: But there's also investments being made in untested and problematic energy systems, sources, and infrastructure. These investments undermine efforts to reduce carbon and methane emissions and reinforce decades of environmental racism. [00:00:30] Speaker A: Now's the time to stand together to ensure that we do not fall short of our climate justice promises and fight discriminatory policies that would continue to harm the health, the livelihoods, and dignity of environmental justice communities. [00:00:42] Speaker B: Over the next three months, this series will explore the impact of the current us energy policy on individuals and environmental justice communities. With the help of some very special. [00:00:51] Speaker A: Guests, uptown chats reveals what these emerging technologies, policies, plans, and federal spending bills mean to environmental justice and the people living on the front lines. Check out the first episode of the series coming out June 10. [00:01:04] Speaker B: See you there.
