Southwest Airlines Scales Back Renewable Energy Efforts to Cut Costs

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Southwest Airlines is scaling back its renewable energy commitments in an effort to cut costs. The airline had previously invested in sustainability initiatives, but has reversed course, eliminating much of its green energy division. This follows a broader trend, as seen with BP’s decision to abandon renewables in favor of oil and gas. McIntyre suggests that this could indicate a larger shift away from corporate sustainability efforts in the coming months.
