While electricity prices continue to climb, many utility companies are keeping old and expensive coal plants online and building more pricey gas plants, rather than investing in renewable, affordable, clean energy. IN THIS ECONOMY?!? In this year’s Dirty Truth Report, utility companies studied earned an F for failing to put customers first. Rather than investing in affordable clean energy, most companies are building expensive, polluting gas plants and keeping old, deadly coal plants online. sierraclub.org/dirtytruth

The Trump administration pretending it’s not gaslighting Americans about lowering costs and caring about our well-being

VICTORY 🎉 Sierra Club sued the Trump administration for illegally keeping an old, expensive coal plant from retiring, and WON. While Donald Trump is padding profits for fossil fuel companies, we are fighting for lower bills, cleaner air, and better health outcomes.

The 10 highest paid energy CEOs are responsible for nearly a THIRD of CO2 pollution from power plants. Let that sink in. While our bills get higher, the air gets dirtier. While we get sicker, these CEOs are getting richer.

Trump's attacks on offshore wind kept losing in court, so now he's paying off energy companies to abandon offshore wind projects. This is another corrupt, shady, backroom deal from the administration to bolster profits for Trump's fossil fuel buddies. sierraclub.org/press-release…

Did your power bills go up last month? It might be because Donald Trump is forcing old coal plants to stay online, and making YOU pay to keep them running. Listen to Sierra Club Senior Attorney Greg Wannier answer how this is possible ⬇️

The Sierra Club is suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its rollback of key climate protections, arguing the move is illegal, unscientific, and harmful to public health. The lawsuit, filed today by the Sierra Club and a coalition of health and environmental advocacy groups, challenges recent actions by theTrump administration’s EPA under Administrator Lee Zeldin to eliminate clean vehicle standards and repeal safeguards against climate pollution. The coalition says these rollbacks will increase pollution, raise fuel costs, and put communities at risk. Read more at the link: bit.ly/4u0ldwb

🚨 BREAKING: Trump is moving to eliminate the EPA’s Endangerment Finding—one of the strongest legal tools we have to fight climate pollution. With the stroke of a pen at a White House event this Thursday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin will formalize climate denialism as official government policy and move to eliminate EPA’s ability to directly fight the climate crisis. This reckless move would gut EPA’s authority to limit climate pollution from cars, power plants, and other major polluters. This finding has been upheld by the courts, grounded in overwhelming science, and used since 2009 to protect communities from deadly pollution. Eliminating it puts polluter profits over people’s lives, right as climate change is already destroying communities and driving up costs. The Sierra Club has fought for federal climate protections longer than any other organization, and we’re not backing down now. We’re exploring every legal option to stop this dangerous rollback. We will fight this. Polluters should pay — not the public. Read more at our statement 🔗
