Signature Goal: 5,000 LCV members. Add your name >>? Tell Lawmakers: Reject Loopholes for Hydrogen Subsidies
Corporate polluters are fighting to create loopholes that would direct clean hydrogen subsidies ? meant to fight climate change ? to fossil fuel companies and carbon-emitting power plants. If they get their way, these subsidies could even increase greenhouse gas emissions.
As the Biden-Harris administration finalizes eligibility for clean hydrogen programs, we need environmentalists like you to make it clear to lawmakers that fossil fuel and utility lobbyists should not be writing these important policies.

? Friend ? the Biden-Harris administration is about to finalize subsidy eligibility for clean hydrogen, a new technology that will help reduce emissions in industries like steel manufacturing and long-haul shipping that are difficult to decarbonize.
Here?s the problem: fossil fuel and utility lobbyists are fighting to stretch subsidy eligibility to cover dirty energy industries, too. Their proposed loopholes could even increase climate-harming emissions, while effectively turning programs designed to fight climate change into yet another dirty energy subsidy for Big Polluters. And the last thing we need is more of our tax dollars going to dirty energy.
We need your help to make sure that environmentalists? voices are heard. Sign our petition to help us reach 5,000 signatures demanding that clean energy subsidies do not benefit Big Polluters Oil or increase greenhouse gas emissions >> [link removed]
In December, the Biden-Harris administration proposed guardrails that would help ensure that subsidies cover only truly clean hydrogen, produced with renewables-based electricity?and decreasing emissions, as Congress intended.
Since then, fossil fuel and utility lobbyists have been working hard to pressure members of Congress and the Biden-Harris administration to weaken their proposal. Eliminating safeguards, or creating big loopholes for special interests, would undermine our climate goals and raise energy costs for working families, putting our communities and planet at risk.
Tell your members of Congress to support, and the Biden-Harris administration to finalize, strong rules for clean hydrogen to protect our climate, not give away money to dirty energy. There?s still time to weigh-in ? please help us reach our 5,000 signature goal right now >> [link removed]
