Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

The DOE is now forbidding the Office of *Energy Efficiency* and *Renewable Energy* from using words like ‘climate change,’ ‘green,’ ‘emissions,’ and ‘energy transition’ in their work.

A single tree’s roots can spread wider than its branches. It holds soil, feeds life, stores carbon, reduces floods, and supports a hidden web of life beneath our feet. Just imagine the impact of whole forests.

Wind is one of our best tools for clean, cheap, reliable energy. We can't let myths and misinformation hold us back from clean power solutions.

Urge your federal representatives to actively combat disinformation about wind energy:

Our climate satellites are our eyes in the sky—tracking pollution, plant growth, and the health of our planet. They’re fully paid for, working perfectly, and giving us life-saving data.

Yet the Trump administration wants to destroy them—burning them up in the atmosphere years before their time.

Today is Earth Overshoot Day.
