Description

What power does the law have to address the climate crisis? How has the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act impacted the advancement of climate solutions? Why is Florida not leading the United States on solar power generation?   To answer these questions and more, we have Earthjustice on today’s episode of the Climate Correction Podcast.   We are joined by Jill Tauber, Vice President of Litigation for Climate & Energy at Earthjustice, and Tania Galloni, Managing Attorney of Earthjustice's Florida regional office.   Jill leads the largest bench of climate and Energy litigators in the country working to achieve a swift and equitable shift from fossil fuels to 100% clean energy, and to curb the devastating effects of climate change.  Tania is here from Earthjustice’s Florida team to tell us about the roadblocks that stand in the way of Florida dominating and profiting from energy production by solar.   Earthjustice, the premier nonprofit public interest environmental law organization, leverages legal expertise to advance climate justice.  The interview delves into the current climate landscape in Florida, emphasizing the state's significance due to its unique climate impacts and opportunities.   Earthjustice further discusses how they use the law to maximize gains in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), ensuring a clean energy transition benefits all while preventing harm to impacted communities.   The interview concludes with Earthjustice's pledge to hold the Biden administration accountable to its climate justice commitments.   Listeners are encouraged to take action and support Earthjustice's crucial work by reaching out to decision-makers and holding them accountable.     A link is provided below where you can learn more and support Earthjustice.      Action Center - Earthjustice
