Trump is in Texas today to tout his energy agenda aka the reason our electric bills are so high.
Instead of embracing clean energy — which has helped Texas avoid blackouts — Trump has doubled down on dirty and costly fossil fuels.
When it comes to clean energy, we need to "Build, baby, build."

"A burgeoning energy affordability crisis among Americans is the result of congressional Republicans carrying out President Donald Trump’s mission to dismantle Democrats’ clean energy and environment agenda in 2025, the League of Conservation Voters warned Thursday."

FACT CHECK: It’s already illegal, difficult, and extremely rare for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and there’s no proof of widespread voter fraud anywhere in this country.
The SAVE Act 2.0 is an attempt to make it harder for American citizens to vote. It’s as simple as that. #SOTU
Trump's promises to lower energy prices for working families ring hollow from a president who promised to cut energy costs by 50% while instead driving them up ⬆️ 13% in his first year. #SOTU

Rising energy prices aren't inevitable. The Trump administration owns the increases in your electric bill.

"This is definitely not a decision based on science. The science is clear, indisputable.
LCV's @matthewhdavis.bsky.social was on ABC News to discuss the Trump administration's repealing of the Endangerment Finding, which requires the EPA to take action to reduce climate pollution.

The Trump administration is repealing the Endangerment Finding, which requires the EPA to take action to reduce climate pollution. They call it the "single largest deregulatory action ever."
This is what America looked like before environmental protections.
We can't and won't go back.
Twenty years ago, I wrote a book about how the death of coal has been hindered by two things: 1) industrial inertia 2) political corruption. I think my thesis holds up, although I wildly underestimated the depth of corruption that has surfaced in Trumpworld.

A meme from the Princess Bride. The text reads "You keep bragging about that award. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Our reaction when we saw Trump got an “undisputed champion of coal” award…

📣 Republicans are (finally) realizing that Trump's attacks on clean energy are hurting families:
"The loss in the workforce and lost wages and the uncertainty for families... they could look at the President and say he canceled our project because it was solar" - Sen. Capito
🚨 BIG CLEAN ENERGY NEWS: New York's Sunrise Wind, which will produce enough power for 600,000 homes, has been given the go-ahead by a federal judge to resume construction after being unlawfully paused by Trump.
This now means that ALL FIVE offshore wind projects halted by Trump have won in court.
FACT CHECK: Wind turbines do not freeze when properly weatherized.
Wind power overperformed in Texas during Winter Storm Fern and was a major reason why the state did not suffer the same blackouts as it did in 2021.
Meanwhile, natural gas prices increased by 60%. 🤔
Congratulations to my dear friend Tiernan Sittenfeld on being named the next CEO of the National Parks Conservation Association!
Tiernan brought exceptional leadership to the League of Conservation Voters and has long been a powerful advocate for protecting our public lands.
Montgomery County is already closed Thursday too. Also we just got an "essential water use only" request from WSSC so Jokering commences earlier north of the city.

🚨 BIG CLIMATE NEWS: Massachusetts' Vineyard Wind, which will power 400,000 homes, has been given the go-ahead by a federal judge to resume construction after being unlawfully paused by Trump.
This is the 4th offshore wind project to win in court against the Trump administration this month alone!
Iowans have seen their utility bills increase by 12% thanks to Trump and Republicans' War on Clean Energy.
Despite Iowa getting 63% of its energy from wind, Trump has repeatedly tried to shut down wind turbines.
He is making life unaffordable for Americans while giving tax breaks to billionaires.
