The climate crisis demands urgent action. Yet the Trump Administration continues to ignore science, abandon our commitments and leave communities to suffer.

As electricity costs surge and home insurance premiums balloon, Trump continues to call climate change a “hoax” and cede global climate leadership.

Looks like the EPA is celebrating another self-aggrandizing list. Surprising no one, it’s riddled with hyperbole and misdirection.

PFAS is a public health menace.
The EPA has the tools to clean up contaminated sites and hold polluters accountable for the release of these dangerous chemicals. They must use them.

Energy prices are skyrocketing, and Trump’s “solution” is spending millions to revive expensive, polluting coal plants.
This does nothing to make your bills more affordable. It’s a handout to the megadonors who helped get him elected.

Trump was right about something—we DO need more energy on the grid.
