While consumers get hammered by the highest gas prices in more than a decade, greedy fossil fuel corporations like Exxon, BP and Shell are raking in billions – shamelessly taking advantage of the crises across the globe and pushing for more dangerous drilling and fracking. Their goal: Maximum profit, regardless of who suffers.
High prices have a severe impact on low-income families that are already struggling to make ends meet, and are often on the frontlines of industry pollution and rapidly intensifying climate impacts. It’s time to stop the drilling, halt the harm and move to an equitable and renewable energy future. Tell Congress: We need urgent climate action NOW to avert climate chaos!
Ignoring the writing on the wall, big energy companies are still pushing to increase oil and gas production. But that won’t bring down price spikes at the pump – it’ll only fuel the climate crisis and fatten the wallets of oil execs.
Our window to prevent all-out climate chaos is rapidly closing, but the federal government is busy approving more fossil fuel infrastructure that will lock us into decades more emissions. If we want a livable future, we can't afford to go down that path.
Congress needs to lead us back from the climate cliff with legislation to move toward a future without fossil fuels.The Future Generations Protection Act would:
Ban fracking
Ban greenhouse gas emissions from all new power plants
Ban the export of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids
At Food & Water Action, we won't stop fighting for a future free from Big Oil & Gas. But we need you with us to pass this critical climate bill. Together we can move past the fossil fuel era, protect our communities and save the planet from irreversible climate chaos. But we have to act NOW.
Food & Water Action and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Watch, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate.
