Friend — days ago, oil and gas lobbyists came to Capitol Hill with a wish list: A massive expansion of fossil fuel production. A steep discount on drilling leases. Severe limits on the public’s right to review environmentally devastating projects.
House Republicans have already rolled out a bill that would give polluters exactly that — and hearings on the proposal are underway now.
If we don’t stop them, the damage to the environment will be irreversible.
We can’t let this pass without a fight, Friend. That means flooding House and Senate offices with calls, letters, and emails. It means meeting with congressional staff and members of Congress who are being bombarded with misinformation from corporate polluters.
We need your help — our campaigns are only possible because of grassroots supporters like you. And for a limited time, your support will go three times as far.
Please, make a gift right now. For a limited time, your support will make THREE TIMES the impact for our climate and clean energy, thanks to a group of committed environmental donors who are matching all gifts — meaning a gift of just $5 becomes $15 when you give right now.
We have to stop Republicans’ dirty energy bill that reads like a laundry list of giveaways to the fossil fuel industry:
- Gut environmental review. Their bill would severely roll back the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the law that requires environmental impact studies for projects like pipelines, highways, and drilling on public lands — and allows affected communities to give input on these projects.
- Massively expand oil and gas drilling. Republicans’ plan would mandate quarterly oil and gas leasing, overriding the long-standing precedent that defers leasing decisions to the Secretary of Interior. From there, it would open up even more public lands and waters for drilling and mining… at a steep discount.
- Greenlight dirty oil pipelines. Their plan would encourage new fossil fuel production and infrastructure like natural gas pipelines, further exacerbating the climate crisis, perpetuating environmental injustices, and endangering communities by gutting the laws that are in place to safeguard communities and our resources.
