Fossil fuel energy costs have been through the roof lately.
In our latest memo, we lay out exactly why this is happening (spoiler alert: Big Polluter corporate greed and possible price-gouging), as well as how we can solve it for good (another spoiler alert: clean energy is cheap energy).
Even as hard-working people around the country spend more and more on fossil fuel energy costs, fossil fuel companies are making record-breaking profits. There's also evidence suggesting Big Polluters are keeping consumer prices artificially high—even as their own costs have gone down.
Fossil fuel execs know that most of us have no choice other than volatile, expensive fossil fuels. But it doesn't have to be this way.
The Build Back Better Act makes massive investments in clean energy, which will make it even more affordable and widely available than it is now. Clean energy is cheap energy—and it's only getting cheaper. That means lower energy costs for all of us.
Our policy memos move the needle and change the conversation in Washington. But to power our in-depth research and analysis, we depend on grassroots contributions from folks like you.
