BONUS | Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill vs Climate: Hot Take with BlueGreen Alliance’s Jason Walsh
Ed chats with Jason Walsh, Executive Director of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA).
Jason and his organization recently made headlines for opposing the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act—President Trump's sweeping piece of legislation passed this summer that rolls back many of the clean energy tax credits introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act. While a lot of the climate world focused on the emissions impacts, BGA came out swinging over what they saw as a quiet gutting of labour standards, domestic manufacturing momentum, and the link between public investment and good jobs.
Jason and Ed discuss:
- How the bill reshapes the clean energy landscape
- Whether it really neuters domestic content rules
- Politics of climate and labour in an increasingly polarized U.S.
- And what political durability looks like for climate policy heading into 2026
About Our Guest:
Jason Walsh is the Executive Director of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA). Named one of the Washington D.C.’s 500 Most Influential People by the Washingtonian, Walsh has more than twenty-five years of experience at state and federal levels in policy development and advocacy in a range of issue areas—including climate, clean energy, and economic and workforce development—and as a coalition organizer and manager.
Walsh previously served in the Obama administration, as the Director of the Office of Strategic Programs in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and as a Senior Policy Advisor in the White House Domestic Policy Council, where he led Obama administration’s efforts to align and scale up federal investments in workers and communities impacted by the shift away from coal in the power sector.
