"I have always historically rejected the idea that waste-to-energy should be in the Renewable Portfolio. [But] process matters” Senate Pres Ferguson in 2021. Bill Ferguson, it's 2024! The process is complete! Will you hold a vote on SB146, the Reclaim Renewable Energy Act?
We were proud to join Indigenous Environmental Network and over 100 other groups in opposing carbon offset schemes in international climate negotiations. We must FULLY phase out fossil fuels and factory farming to cut emissions at the source. ienearth.org/groups-call-to…
Huge win today – both houses have now passed the CO2 #fracking ban bill! Huge thanks to the grassroots movement that made this possible. When we organize, we win! Big thanks to sponsors Assemblymember Dr. Anna R. Kelles and Lea Webb! Now, we need Governor Kathy Hochul to sign.
HAPPENING NOW: John Beard Jr., founder of Port Arthur Community Action Network, is testifying before Congress on the REAL impacts of LNG in the Gulf, and how President Donald J. Trump's decision to pause new gas export projects benefits frontline communities. Watch live: youtu.be/2MDqkaMXjlo
So awesome to see Congressman Chuy García calling out American Petroleum Institute and their misleading claims about the safety of carbon capture pipelines!
I'm really proud to live in TakomaParkMD a community that allows everyone who is a resident 16 and older to vote in Municipal elections. It's important to recognize that immigrants and youth are important to our community and deserve a meaningful voice and representation!
LNG exports are bad for the climate and communities across the country—and New Englanders are sick of seeing price spikes from a volatile global gas market and fossil fuel profiteering. U.S. Department of Energy must consider how gas exports affect the Northeast and reject LNG exports.
I was proud to co-lead a Senate Climate Change Task Force and House of Reps. SEEC meeting on LNG exports. Witnesses from across the globe shared how Big Oil is exporting fossil fuels to keep up with a global demand that doesn't exist—just their demand for profits at the expense of communities.
