  "textContent": "Dear readers,\n\nI launched Quitting Carbon with a simple goal: provide context on the projects, people, and policies advancing the energy transition.\n\nThis newsletter isn't the place to come for the third or fourth write-up you've seen that day for a given breaking news story.\n\nInstead, pretty much anything you read here will be a one-of-a-kind look at a story that really matters. My original reporting, commentary, Q&As, and roundups of highlights from what I've been reading are all my way of saying, _Pay attention to this_.\n\nFinding journalism like this you can  _trust_ , researched and written by a journalist with decades of experience on his or her beat, is rare. When it comes to the world of energy, mine is a voice you can trust. I’ve reported on and analyzed the energy transition for more than 20 years.\n\nIf you enjoy and value Quitting Carbon, I hope you'll agree that its worth paying for. Don't just take my word for it.\n\n**Journalism worth paying for**\n\nIn talking with fellow newsletter publishers, I've heard that the most we can hope for is that 10% of our readers will pay to subscribe.\n\nSo, here's a thought for you.\n\nA restaurant owner would have to shut her doors if nine of 10 diners walked out without paying after finishing a meal. Likewise, newsletters like this one won't survive unless more of you are as willing to pay for what you read as what you eat.\n\nSo, if independent journalism – journalism that's not afraid to call out stenography from White House political reporters and lies from Trump's Cabinet alike – matters to you, I hope you will consider becoming a paid subscriber.\n\nFor those of you who can afford it, think of it as a gift to fellow energy nerds to make sure these stories remain free for all to read.\n\n25% off one year of Quitting Carbon\n\nAs an additional incentive, for the rest of the month, you can get one year of Quitting Carbon at a 25% discount.\n\n**The 25% off special offer** **is good through the end of June**.\n\nAnd if a paid subscription is too much for you right now, consider making a one-time donation instead.\n\nWith gratitude,\n\nJustin\n\nQuitting Carbon founder Justin Gerdes at Lovers Point Park, Pacific Grove, California.",
