- Author: Justin Gerdes

Dear readers,

I launched Quitting Carbon with a simple goal: provide context on the projects, people, and policies advancing the energy transition.

This 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.

Instead, pretty much anything you read here will be a one-of-a-kind look at a story that really matters. My original [reporting](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/tag/reporting/), [commentary](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/tag/commentary/), [Q&As](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/tag/interviews/), and [roundups of highlights from what I've been reading](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/tag/what-im-reading/) are all my way of saying, *Pay attention to this*.

Finding 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](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/about/).

If you enjoy and value Quitting Carbon, I hope you'll agree that its worth paying for. Don't just take my word for it.

**Journalism worth paying for**

In 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.

So, here's a thought for you. 

A 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.

So, if independent journalism – journalism that's not afraid to call out [stenography from White House political reporters](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/the-trump-administration-just-laundered-its-bogus-energy-affordability-talking-points-through-politicos-white-house-team/) and [lies from Trump's Cabinet](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/why-does-chris-wright-insist-on-being-so-wrong-on-the-energy-transition/) alike – matters to you, I hope you will consider [becoming a paid subscriber](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/mid-year-special-offer). 

For 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.

[25% off one year of Quitting Carbon](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/mid-year-special-offer)

As an additional incentive, for the rest of the month, you can [**get one year of Quitting Carbon at a 25% discount**](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/mid-year-special-offer).

**The 25% off special offer** **is good through the end of June**.

And if a [**paid subscription**](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/mid-year-special-offer) is too much for you right now, consider [**making a one-time donation instead**](https://www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/#/portal/support).

With gratitude,

Justin
