A coalition of climate advocacy organizations, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, launched an online ticker on May 5, 2022, that calculates the cost of inaction on climate legislation. The ticker, starting at $50.5 billion and climbing at $4,705.73 per second, is based on NOAA data showing that billion-dollar weather disasters cost the U.S. approximately $148.4 billion annually. The groups are calling on Congress to pass $555 billion in climate investments from the Build Back Better framework.
