On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet series, we discuss the GOP’s sweeping budget bill and its impact on the future of renewable energy.

Guests:

Sammy Roth, climate columnist for the Los Angeles Times, and author of the paper’s Boiling Point newsletter and podcast

Marianne Lavelle, award-winning reporter for Inside Climate News
