‘Sun Day’: Climate Activists To Rally For Clean Energy Amid Trump Attacks [1]

"Some 450 events are planned across the US this Sunday to celebrate growth of solar power and energy efficiency" 

"As the Trump administration wages an all-out assault on climate protections and renewable energy, activists are gearing up for demonstrations this Sunday to hype up solar power and energy efficiency.

The national “day of action”, called Sun Day, will be spearheaded by the veteran climate activist Bill McKibben.

“Trump has aimed squarely at clean energy,” McKibben told the Guardian. “So we need to fight back, and in this case we get to play not just defense but offense too.”

Since retaking the White House in January, Trump has launched more than 150 anti-environmental and anti-renewable energy actions. In McKibben’s view, the fossil fuel industry, which donated massively to Trump’s presidential campaign, is pushing for these moves because they are scared of the threat of fossil-free power."
