    Clean Energy for America Education Fund was one of the top spenders on climate-related Facebook and Instagram ads this week

    • Clean Energy for America Education Fund spent a TON of money on ads celebrating the impact of the Biden administration’s Clean Energy Plan.The Clean Energy for America Education Fund is an important group with an impressive team: their web address is:  https://ce4aef.org/
