The headquarters of the US Chamber sit in Washington DC, adjacent to the White House. A giant sign reading “jobs” adorns the building. “Job-killing” is a oft-used phrase in their lobbying documents referring to EPA regulations that protect our climate and human health.
Perhaps the leadership of the US Chamber would be interested to learn that today, the California state assembly just passed a renewable energy bill that amounts to one of the most aggressive climate law anywhere in the world. The kicker? These provisions will help create 500,000 green jobs in our state.
If the Chamber has its way with its anti-climate lobbying, they not only harm the future of this planet: they make their building’s decoration seem like a joke.
