Friend — Last month, Trump announced he’ll nominate a climate change denier and Big Oil executive to lead the U.S. Department of Energy. |
|
|
Chris Wright, the CEO of fracking company Liberty Energy, has said that “there is no climate crisis” and denies the scientific consensus that climate-fueled natural disasters are becoming more frequent. |
|
|
We have a chance to make Wright’s confirmation a real fight if we act quickly. Many senators aren’t aware of his most extreme views. We need to change that — help us urge the Senate to block science-denying Chris Wright from leading the Department of Energy. |
|
|
Wright’s nomination comes after Trump offered a deal to his fellow oil and gas executives: raise $1 billion for Trump’s campaign, and in exchange, his administration would pay them back in the form of tax cuts and rollbacks of important environmental safeguards. |
|
|
In nominating Chris Wright, Trump is making good on his end of that scandalous deal with the dirty energy industry. |
|
|
There’s still a chance to make this radical nomination a real fight, but we’re going to need your help. With 50 U.S. senators needed to approve a nomination, just a few votes will determine whether Trump’s nominations succeed or fail. |
|
|
Last month, after facing public controversy and headwinds in the Senate, Trump’s original extreme pick for Attorney General — Matt Gaetz — stepped aside. That means pressure from grassroots activists like you is working, Friend. |
|
|
Thanks for taking action, Friend. By making your voice hard, you are making a difference for our climate, our communities, and our democracy. |
