Opinion | Why Would the SEC Silence Shareholders? Markets work best when businesses are guided by owners.

Ceres CPO Steven Rothstein & National Legal and Policy Center Chairman Peter Flaherty, often on opposite sides of major issues, come together to make one point clear:

When shareholders’ voices are silenced, our capital markets suffer.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

"Climate hushing"—the quiet trend undermining global climate action | Talking Climate with Katharine Hayhoe Get more from Talking Climate with Katharine Hayhoe on Patreon

The energy transition is happening, faster than many realize. This week, I look at how clean energy is surging, where we can get it wrong, why silence on climate is spreading, and what we can do. Read the full edition for the data, the stories, and practical ways to keep the conversation going:

2021 Texas law targeting financial firms that 'boycott' fossil fuels ruled unconstitutional The 2021 Texas law called for the state to restrict its business with financial firms deemed to be "boycotting" fossil fuels.

“The court has affirmed what we've always known: you cannot punish businesses for their investment decisions or silence those who speak about climate risk." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Green Tech Investments Hit a Record $2.3 Trillion Last Year Despite the surge, there are signs the energy transition isn’t gaining the momentum necessary to reach net-zero emissions.

About $1.2 trillion of that poured into renewable energy and power grids alone, both of which play a vital role in serving rising electricity demand from data centers.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The dark truth of CEO silence on Trump’s climate retreat Failing to speak out about the US president’s ever more egregious actions is more dangerous than it appears

Trump moves to pull US out of bedrock global climate treaty, becoming first country to do so | CNN The Trump administration is pulling the United States out of the bedrock treaty that underpins international cooperation on climate change, along with dozens of other global bodies.

Trump moves to pull the US from bedrock climate treaty, UN IPCC and other int'l orgs & UN agencies. In doing so, the US becomes the only country to withdraw from this particular climate agreement dating back to 1992 (UNFCCC). www.cnn.com/2026/01/07/c...

Weakened federal fuel economy standards will drive up costs for American businesses and consumers

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s move to revise fuel economy standards will jeopardize domestic auto manufacturing, disrupt efforts to onshore critical mineral and battery supply chains, and increase costs for businesses and consumers.

An E.P.A. Plan to Kill a Major Climate Rule Is Worrying Business Leaders Some carmakers and energy executives say the plan would trigger costly litigation and spur individual states to create a patchwork of tighter rules.

“This is something that the vast majority of industry didn’t ask for and doesn’t want,” said Zach Friedman, the senior director of federal policy at Ceres, a nonprofit group that submitted a letter from 59 companies and investors opposing the E.P.A. plan.

Lots of bad news here for the many US communities that could be benefiting from the economic opportunities associated with the energy transition but are being thwarted by Trump/MAGA. BUT states have enormous financial clout and could use that clout to put out a welcome mat for this investment.
