Urge President Biden to Use His Power to Act on the Climate Crisis, Clean
Energy & Our Health

Rising energy prices, Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, and mounting
climate impacts underscore the need to speed the shift to 100% clean
energy sources that won’t condemn us to endless cycles of chaos,
suffering, and war. President Biden has the power to do just that. So send
President Biden and his administration’s top environmental officials a
message calling for strong action now.

Dear NRDC Activist,

The worsening climate crisis. Rising energy prices due to Russia's
invasion of Ukraine. Shameful oil and gas industry exploitation of the war
to lock in more drilling. A health crisis in communities plagued by
persistent pollution, compounded by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

These are big challenges we're facing — but a critical part of the
solution is to break free from fossil fuels, shift to 100% clean energy,
and invest in clean air, safe drinking water, and healthy communities.

Yet, fossil fuel corporations and their allies in Congress are doing
everything they can to block progress. That's why it's all the more
critical for the president and congressional leaders to use the power and
the tools at their disposal to crack down on pollution, advance clean
energy, and protect our health.

It's up to us to compel them to use those tools.

[ [link removed] ]So please, act now to send a message to the Biden administration
demanding strong executive action on climate, clean energy, clean air, and
public health.

In the weeks and months ahead, we expect a raft of important regulatory
proposals from the EPA, the Interior Department, and the Department of
Transportation. These include plans to:

* Clean up pollution from cars and heavy-duty trucks and expand
zero-emission and electric vehicles, as transportation is the #1
source of climate emissions in the U.S.
* Crack down on emissions from dirty, outdated, fossil fuel power
plants, the #2 source of climate emissions and a major driver of the
air pollution affecting public health
* Stop new offshore oil and gas drilling, which threatens coastal
communities with devastating oil spills and keeps us addicted to dirty
fossil fuels
* Eliminate lead in drinking water that's poisoning children across
America, and clean up polluted lakes, rivers, and streams

Together with strong climate legislation from Congress, these safeguards
are critical to meeting the nation's goal of cutting climate pollution
50-52% by 2030 and building a cleaner, healthier, and more equitable
world.

This is a leadership moment for Congress and the White House.

NRDC will be working hard to ensure that strong federal climate
legislation passes, and that these federal standards are strong enough to
address our climate crisis and improve public health. Backed by millions
of supporters like you, we will:

* Keep building massive public support for these policies through
grassroots action to counter the destructive influence of fossil fuel
industry lobbying power.
* Turn to the federal courts if necessary to block illegal actions that
harm our climate and ensure the law is upheld.
* Fire up NRDC's rapid response machine to mobilize our millions of
members and supporters like you when the Biden administration releases
proposed regulations, most of which will be open for public comment,
public hearings, and more, in support of strong action.

[ [link removed] ]We'll call on you for help in the critical weeks and months ahead — but
today, please join us in calling for President Biden to use the full
extent of his power to lead on climate and clean energy, and lead boldly.

The science is clear — we don't have much more time to avert the worst
effects of climate change. The impacts of the climate crisis and our
dangerous fossil fuel addiction are all around us. Rising temperatures,
worsening extreme weather and wildfires, and rising fuel costs hit
low-income and middle-class communities the hardest, especially
communities of color.

Our leaders in Washington need to hear that the country expects them to
stand and deliver on bold action to confront the climate crisis and set
the stage for a generation of prosperity.

It's time to close the deal. It's time for Congress and the White House to
act. And it's time to let them know we've got their back when they do.

[ [link removed] ]So please, help us build a growing chorus and join thousands of NRDC
supporters to send your message now.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
