ICYMI: At an EPW hearing today, @markey.senate.gov shared our memo on how a future administration could (and should) use the Trump administration's permitting tactics to block fossil fuel development, not clean energy.
Seems pretty simple... if this President can unilaterally block renewable infrastructure, a future President could do the same for fossil fuel projects.

Capture-and-kill tactics. Patent hoarding. Hacking journalists. According to MI AG Dana Nessel’s new lawsuit, these are some of the “cartel”-style tactics Big Oil has used to block clean energy and send costs for Michigan families sky-high. Thanks to @miattygen.bsky.social for fighting back 💪

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t a failure to deliver. When faced with a choice between actions that could lower costs for working families or enriching himself and his wealthy allies, Trump chose the latter. Every time. That choice defines his presidency.

Trump's EPA says it will stop calculating the public health value of air pollution regulations, instead solely focusing on costs to Big Business.
Like the rest of his deregulatory agenda, it's a gift for corporate donors and a disaster for the rest of us.

Wisconsin Republicans just released a data center bill that would block access to cheaper, faster clean power. Why limit the options that would protect consumers from rising costs, unless you don’t actually care about affordability?

Today on Volts: sustainable transportation policy is under comprehensive attack by the federal government, but states can soften the blow. Specifically, governors have a little-understood authority to transfer existing federal funds to EV charging, bike lanes, & transit. But time is running out!
Hey governors: you can salvage sustainable transportation, but you need to do it quick!
Liya Rechtman lays out the playbook for governors to salvage clean transportation using existing federal funds before it's too late.
