"Big Oil gets massive handouts while your utility bills skyrocket." Rep. Mcdonald Rivet is is spot on!

We need to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable, and switch to clean cheap energy. @michiganlcv.bsky.social @cleanairmoms-mi.bsky.social

President Trump’s proposed budget would DECIMATE clean air, clean water, and… get this… *enforcement* programs. Trump’s plan: You get sicker while polluters get richer.

“Climate change is a threat multiplier. That’s not just my opinion — it’s the stated position of the Department of Defense, going back decades.” - MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Vet Voice Foundation

Rolling back protections isn’t just anti-science. It’s anti-security.

As we saw earlier this year in Eaton and Palisades fires, CA residents continuously face dangerous wildfires made worse by climate change. Thank you to those who shared their stories at our Extreme Weather People's Hearing in LA and spoke out against Trump’s #ClimateChaosPlan.

First they gut the endangerment finding, now they’re slow-walking methane regulations that prevent natural disasters.

Our climate crisis is happening now. Nature doesn’t do extensions.

Clean energy keeps costs low. EDF VP Joanna Slaney weighs in on Sen. Schumer's new bill to reverse tax hikes on wind and solar power.

“Clean energy offers some of the most affordable and fastest ways to bring reliable power to communities. But President Trump’s tax law drives up costs by limiting clean energy supply, right when the country needs it the most. Restoring long-term wind and solar tax credits will lower household electric bills, create good-paying jobs, help meet power demand and strengthen our grid to withstand extreme weather. Communities need more clean energy – not less – to secure healthier, safer and more affordable futures.”

Joanna Slaney, VP, Political and Government Affairs

Our new polling makes clear: Americans oppose President Trump's tax law by a 2-to-1 margin. No one voted for higher electric bills, fewer clean jobs, and more pollution. There will be a political price for abandoning the people.

So-called “advanced” or "chemical recycling" is making communities sick. It’s not recycling; it’s incineration.

President Trump’s new tax law kicked the can on methane — a potent climate superpollutant — 10 more years down the road. But there’s nothing beautiful about more wasted energy and more extreme weather.
