Friend,
In two weeks, top oil executives will have to appear in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee to answer for an industry that "may be exploiting the war in Ukraine for its own economic gain."
And worse yet, Big Oil's cynical attempt to cash in on the invasion of Ukraine isn't just despicable—it's also completely dishonest.
Increasing our dependence on fossil fuels only exposes our country to greater risk while empowering oil-rich dictators the world over. Instead, we must fight climate change and authoritarianism at the same time by transitioning to cheap, reliable, American-made clean energy. Sign on right now if you agree.
Domestic oil and gas producers are lying to our lawmakers, pressing them to roll back environmental protections and allow Big Polluters to snatch up even more public land.
But here's the truth: Sky-high energy prices mean record profits for fossil fuel companies. Plus, they have no interest in lowering costs for the American people—in fact, they're already sitting on 9,600 unused approved leases.
The only real long-term solution to protect Americans from price manipulation by fossil-fueled fascists is to accelerate the clean energy transition and free ourselves from the volatile oil and gas market for good.
Sign on to raise your voice along with thousands of other climate activists: Investing in clean energy is our best option to secure affordable, reliable energy for Americans and weaken Vladimir Putin's grip on the energy market.
Onward,
Jamal Raad
Executive Director, Evergreen Action
