Today, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa held an event to officially announce that Los Angeles will end its reliance on dirty coal-fired electricity by 2025. Maggie L. Fox, President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project, issued the following statement.

We call on the US Senate to act on Ms. McCarthy’s nomination without further delay.
