In its first year, this Trump admin attacked our environment and placed corporate profits over our health and future.

We fought back with over 150 legal actions and won important victories for clean energy, environmental justice, and protecting our oceans. But we have even bigger fights ahead.

As families struggle with rising electricity bills, the Trump administration is intent on delivering coal for the holidays and forcing households to pay for it . This bailout of the failing coal industry locks us into higher costs. Coal isn’t just dirty — it’s expensive.
Why Are Electricity Bills Going Up?
Electricity rates are set to skyrocket, fueled by the Trump administration’s war on cheaper clean energy and push for expensive fossil fuels.
