John,
Two weeks ago, President Biden announced his plans to open up more public land for fossil fuel companies to drill. It’s unacceptable.
Biden promised to end all oil and gas drilling on public lands during his presidency and yet – he’s done the opposite. First, by hosting the largest oil and gas lease sale in history, and now by opening 144,000 acres of federal land across nine states to oil and gas drilling.
Ending these leases is one of the easiest things that Biden can do on his own to lower our emissions – and it’s our job to make sure that he does. So that’s why we’re collecting signatures to deliver directly to Biden:
Ending these lease sales would have a huge impact on the climate. Since 2005, about a quarter of the U.S.’s total emissions have come from emissions from oil, gas, and coal extracted from federal lands.1
At the beginning of his presidency, President Biden issued an executive order banning new oil and gas leasing. But now, he’s turning back on that by giving yet another handout to the fossil fuel industry.
The reality is simple: President Biden promised to make the climate crisis a top priority, but by continuing these leases, he’s doing just the opposite.
Biden MUST use his executive authority to end the federal approval of new fossil fuel leases and deliver 100% renewable energy for all.
Otherwise, he is telling the American people that the fossil fuel industry’s profits are more important than the future of our planet and the next generations.
Let’s make sure that President Biden hears our demands. Can you sign the petition to demand Biden stop new leases and keep fossil fuels in the ground?
Thank you, John, for speaking out.
In solidarity,
Team 350
