Jack, sign the petition: Replace Sen. Joe Manchin as Energy Chairman.
SIGN THE PETITION
Sen. Joe Manchin continues to push hard for dirty fossil fuel deals and blocks vital climate legislation, time and again. These decisions by Manchin would make him a richer man. It also directly contradicts one of his roles in Congress as chair of the most important environmental committee in the U.S. Senate.
As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Manchin is responsible for regulating the fossil fuel industry and has enormous power over hearings on key climate policy issues. Manchin calls for an “all of the above” energy strategy – a GOP talking point. He has repeatedly ignored, stalled, or shot-down attempt after attempt to transition our country away from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives such as wind and solar.
Sign the petition: Replace Sen. Joe Manchin as Energy Chairman.
SIGN THE PETITION
Manchin owns millions of dollars in coal stocks and earns half a million dollars each year in dividends alone. It should come as a surprise to no one that Manchin has previously called the goal of eliminating fossil fuels “very, very disturbing” and has attacked environmentalists for “unfairly” targeting the burning of coal.
With his refusal to support climate action in Congress and continued drive to expand fossil fuels, Sen. Manchin is not only putting communities, families, seniors, and children at risk, but he’s consciously advancing global warming. It's time to hold Sen. Manchin accountable.
Sign the petition: Demand Senate Democrats replace Senator Manchin as chair of the most important environmental committee in the U.S. Senate NOW.
SIGN THE PETITION
