About the Clean Energy REVolution Tour

CAC’s Clean Energy REVolution Tour is a 6-state, 6-week tour highlighting, celebrating, and driving climate progress. The Clean Energy REVolution Tour spotlights key investments delivered by President Biden’s Climate and Clean Energy Plan included in two historic legislative achievements: the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and progress made by Solutions for Pollution implemented by the EPA and other agencies.

The tour runs from July 30th through September 13th, features an electric Campervan (by Detroit-based startup, Grounded), and includes events across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and additional stops in Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois.
