Don't Bail Out Coal! By keeping fossil-fuel powered facilities open, the Trump administration is choosing big-polluters over the people by raising energy costs, worsening regional air pollution, and ultimately adding more fuel to the fire that is the climate crisis.

🌀 From Superstorm Sandy to Hurricane Melissa, extreme weather disasters have become too frequent. We won't stand by while Trump jeopardizes our safety, health, economy, and future so he can give kickbacks to his billionaire buddies. Cuts to federal agencies like NWS, NOAA & FEMA put lives at risk.

Republican cuts to clean energy investments are raising your energy bill. Cheap, reliable, clean energy lowers costs, creates jobs, and supports a safe climate. Without them, our communities will suffer.
If you think your electricity bill is high now, just wait and see how DC Republicans' new budget law will make it worse. All while killing energy jobs. Crazy.
