Building a national groundswell
BDC's Groundswell initiative creates the conditions for a swift and smooth transition away from fossil fuels for American homes and businesses. By forging atypical alliances, coordinating closely with major industry actors, and advising state policymakers and code officials, the initiative seeks to obtain phaseout commitments from states representing 60% of U.S. natural gas demand.
