Dear John, DC has committed to carbon neutrality and phasing out fossil fuels, yet the DC government is continuing to subsidize dirty fossil fuels that pollute our climate and pollute our air. If you think DC should end subsidies for fossil fuels, please sign our petition! The DC Sustainable Energy Utility, which is supposed to incentivize clean and efficient energy, pays building owners in DC to install and upgrade energy systems powered by fracked gas. These dirty energy subsidies should NOT exist, and we are asking the DC Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) to fully transition to clean energy. Tell DOEE: No more fossil fuels! Fossil fuels don’t just pollute our climate. Burning fracked gas inside homes emits noxious fumes that are linked to asthma and respiratory issues. Children growing up in homes with gas stoves are 42 percent more likely to have asthma. For our health and our climate, we must stop burning fossil fuels. Please sign our petition asking that DC end subsidies for fracked gas energy systems. Sincerely, -- Have you heard of our advocacy arm, CCAN Action Fund?
