For years, the fossil fuel industry has relied on government subsidies to
stay profitable. In fact, taxpayers are spending around $650 billion each
year to keep oil and gas companies profitable while our planet suffers the
consequences.

Here’s who else pays the price for Big Oil:

* Small business owners pay when an oil spill, like the one here in
Orange County, decreases beach tourism.
* Homeowners and local communities pay when climate change causes
extreme weather events that damage property.
* Our kids pay the price the longer we put this off. They’ll be the ones
left to foot the bill to deal with climate change, and the longer we
wait, the more expensive it will be to deal with.

Katie’s congressional subcommittee recently produced a report that found
these subsidies for oil and gas are outdated and a waste of taxpayer
dollars. It’s clear that we need to end these subsidies to protect our
environment and save taxpayers money, and right now, Congress has a rare
chance to end them—and Katie has been fighting to make sure the Build Back
Better Act includes real action on climate.
