🔥🔥🔥MAGA Mike Johnson is refusing to seat @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social after she won her seat in a landslide last week. Is he afraid she's the 218th vote on the Epstein files? Or just afraid of a powerful progressive Latina? Sign our petition actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I pledge not to take contributions over $200 from oil, gas, and coal industry executives, lobbyists, and PACs and instead prioritize the health of our families, climate, and democracy over fossil fuel industry profits.
I pledge to take #NoFossilFuelMoney!
I refuse to be compromised in the fight against climate change and corporate greed!
Oil And Gas Industry To Get $40 Billion In New Subsidies From Republicans Because They Love The Free Market So Much

Go @hynotnw.bsky.social! The grassroots group are campaigning against the UK's dangerous, unproven, and expensive carbon capture and blue hydrogen plans. They describe it as "fossil fuel light" - comparable to the tobacco industry’s promotion of low-tar cigarettes.

With @emdashsanders.bsky.social at ExxonKnews:
Exxon is pushing through a CO2 pipeline in Cancer Alley that will run as close as 160 yards from the nearest home.
Invaluable to have a number to put on this abject squandering of public resources, courtesy of @oilchange.bsky.social: "fossil fuel companies, which spend millions every year to rig our political system in their favor, receive a 30,000% return on investment as subsidies."

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world.

1️⃣ Congratulations to @oilchange.bsky.social, and particularly @collinrees.bsky.social, for its new study on U.S. federal subsidies for fossil fuel production, which they estimate at $34.8 billion ($4 bln of which were added by Congress this year).
This is who people should be citing, not the IMF.
Is this where we want our tax money going?
The fossil fuel industry is set to receive $34.8 billion in handouts every year – over $4 billion of which were added by Trump and Republicans this year. @oilchange.bsky.social
NEW REPORT: Each year, as working families struggle, the federal gov’t subsidizes the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $35 BILLION.
Ridiculous. We need to invest in our communities, not give handouts to the Big Oil Billionaires destroying our planet.

Welfare for an industry that makes hundreds of billions in profits and ravages the climate is civilizational self-harm. End it now.

New from @collinrees.bsky.social and @oilchange.bsky.social : The US government gives the profitable, polluting fossil-fuel industry *at least* $34.8 billion in subsidies every year. Think how much housing, health care and/or cheap, clean energy that money could buy

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.

They're killing off solar and wind power projects.
While giving handouts to Big Oil & Gas.
1/10 - Would not recommend this federal government configuration.
🚨🚨🚨 Our *new research* finds that the U.S. federal government gives the fossil fuel industry a whopping $35 BILLION of handouts every single year, even as working families struggle with the rising cost of housing, groceries, and utilities.

Big Oil spent nearly half a BILLION dollars in last year’s election cycle.
Now, they’re coming to collect — and they’re getting a big return on investment. Watch. youtu.be/aDQXiNlM5iM?...
We can’t trust fossil fuel megacorporations to voluntarily reduce their climate pollution. A liveable climate + safe and healthy communities require a just transition away from fossil fuels. Read more in the new blog from our Research Director, @lornestockman.bsky.social:

A graph showing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector rising in lockstep with production of these fossil fuels. That suggests the industry is failing to take steps to reduce methane emissions along its supply chain.
Since 2017, the Int'l Energy Agency has told the world the fossil fuel industry can reduce its emissions of toxic, planet-warming methane at little to no cost to itself. But industry keeps failing to clean up its act. Methane emissions are still rising in lockstep with production. bit.ly/47YXaVt

No Fossil Fuel Money pledge signers
wondering who to support in the #CAGov race? The No Fossil Fuel Money pledge has 4 candidates who've signed. 3 and a half who haven't, including one notorious pledge breaker.

Instead of giving into Trump’s pressure to import + finance more LNG, leaders must invest in a just transition to renewable energy that will protect our communities from deadly pollution and climate disasters. Learn more: www.greenpeace.org/usa/failing-...
09.07.2025 13:57 — 👍 6 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0The report uses a new, sophisticated model from the US Dept. of Energy to analyze the climate impacts of 5 planned LNG export projects. We found that every one would fail the “climate test,” worsening the climate crisis, in addition to poisoning nearby communities’ air + water.
09.07.2025 13:57 — 👍 4 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0This is a pressing issue, because Trump is demanding the EU, Japan, and others increase imports of US LNG or get slapped with harsh tariffs. This report offers even more evidence that doing so would be disastrous for our climate.

Our NEW report with @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social + @earthworks.bsky.social finds that further investments in exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are incompatible with a liveable climate. Learn more: www.greenpeace.org/usa/failing-the-climate-test/

Not in line with climate goals ❌ 5 major US fossil gas export projects are so polluting they fail the “Climate Test” based on the US Department of Energy’s 2024 models.
Read the new report out today by @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social, @earthworks.bsky.social & @oilchange.bsky.social 👇
NEW: We use the US gov's own analytical tools to show that LNG expansion is set to drive up global GHG emissions by displacing renewable energy and increasing fossil fuel consumption in importing markets (1/2)
