For the first time, renewable energy has overtaken coal as the primary source of electricity around the world. While countries around the world are shifting away from harmful fossil fuels, the Trump administration is trying to bail out coal while halting clean energy.

The Tribe celebrated in 2024 when the Interior Department halted new coal leasing in the region, citing dwindling demand and the growing climate crisis.
But now the Trump Administration and its allies in Congress are reopening the Powder River Basin to new coal leasing.

One in four New Yorkers live within half a mile of a warehouse. While disadvantaged communities make up about 8% of the state, they contain 50% of warehouses.
The Clean Deliveries Act would require the state to review proposed warehouses and implement air pollution safeguards for the warehouses.

URGENT: Nearly 36,000 Earthjustice supporters have already spoken out against a new Trump administration proposal that would make climate denialism the EPA’s official stance. We need to flood the comment period with voices demanding real climate action — not denial. Act now: Text DANGER to 43428

Earthjustice President @abbiedillen.bsky.social on the Endangerment Finding repeal: “How is it possible that the EPA is telling us that we aren’t endangered now? To observe the pain that millions of Americans are suffering and officially shrug it off — well, it’s an epic level of gaslighting.”

Today, the Trump admin announced its decision to repeal the endangerment finding – the single most important provision authorizing the US government to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions and fight climate change. This unprecedented decision is reckless, detached from reality, and will cost lives.

As fires, floods and droughts destroy communities across the country, the Trump admin is working to undermine the court-affirmed scientific determination that allows EPA to regulate the harmful greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the intensity and frequency of these extreme weather events.

The conditions around BP's new proposed project, Kaskida, could make it more dangerous than Deepwater Horizon. BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster spilled 4.9 million barrels of oil. Kaskida would be in greater depths, where equipment would have to withstand higher pressures and temperatures.

Supporters of the Roadless Rule rollback claim it’s about wildfire prevention, but the reality is that this “solution” will only lead to more wildfires. A study found over 90% of wildfires begin within half a mile of a road. Rolling back protections won’t stop wildfires. It will make them worse.

The proposed rollback of the Roadless Rule aims to reopen protected forests to logging and industrial development. It follows recent efforts to expand logging and drilling on public lands. This would worsen climate change, increase wildfire risk, and threaten wildlife, recreation, and clean water.

House Reps need to hear from constituents today! Stop the budget bill that will give industries unfettered access to drilling, mining, and logging on our cherished public lands. This bill will devastate the environment and cause tremendous harm to the health of vulnerable communities.

Senate Republicans ignored public outcry from constituents and passed a bill that will devastate our public lands and waters, harm vulnerable communities, and stifle our clean energy transition. As a result, we’ll face higher energy prices and increased harms to our health.
