This is the most important piece of climate legislation passed in the history of the world, and it&#8217;s not even close. It&#8217;s a bigger deal than the Paris Climate Accord. If it&#8217;s given a chance to play out over the next decade, it will lead to enormous structural changes in our energy system and our economy. \u2026 So when we look at what is changing things, it always goes back to this push of democracy forcing our political leaders to account.
