Friend,
This is incredible. Can you believe that two of the largest utility companies in the U.S. decided to cancel the Atlantic Coast Pipeline? Duke Energy and Dominion Energy cited the extra costs from lawsuits, mainly from environmentalists aimed at blocking the project, as the reason they decided to drop pipeline construction. This pipeline was set to run through communities of color and low-income communities in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina and would have continued to pollute these communities even as protests against racist violence rage across the United States. This is a victory for environmental justice and for the health and safety of these communities and the planet! While we are celebrating that the Atlantic Coast Pipeline was cancelled, fossil fuel financing is still on the rise. It shouldn't take six years, lawsuits that end up in the Supreme Court, and $8 billion to change the course of these investments.1 We will continue to protest and call out energy companies, but we can also stop the money pipeline. We don't want our money to be financing these pipelines. Unfortunately, they probably do. That's because the 35 biggest banks (including household names such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America) funded over $2.7 trillion in fossil fuels projects like pipelines and oil rigs since the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016.2 Aspiration is a very different kind of financial firm, one that refuses to use customer deposits to finance planet-destroying projects like pipelines and oil drilling.
