The moment we're in right now:
Polling confirms that 64 percent of voters prefer clean energy over more coal, oil and gas, and say climate change is already harming their community.1,2
The climate crisis is here, and more and more people are feeling the impacts.
Over the last three years, Biden’s historic clean energy investments have created new jobs, grown local economies, reduced pollution, and saved everyday Americans money on energy bills.
These programs are popular across red, blue, and purple states. So while Trump continues his attacks on these investments, more and more Republicans in Congress are now supporting these programs because they’re bringing new jobs and economic growth to their districts.
If enough of us speak up and put pressure on our members of Congress, there is a real chance that we can protect these climate and clean energy policies from being repealed or replaced. Calling your representative is one of the best ways to make your voice heard and to help us save clean energy.

What this means for us:The leaders we elected to represent us in Washington should be acting in our interest and doing everything they can to build a future powered by 100 percent clean, renewable energy.
But instead of listening to voters, Trump is:
-
Firing thousands of hardworking, dedicated civil servants who devoted their careers to protecting our environment.
-
Throwing out 50 years' worth of rules implementing the National Environmental Policy Act – the bedrock environmental safeguard designed to protect communities and give them a voice in federal decisions.
-
Fast-tracking the construction of dirty energy projects such as LNG methane gas exports that will pollute our water and climate.
-
Proposing plans to destroy climate progress and raise energy prices by repealing clean energy and climate programs.
This is the Project 2025 playbook that Trump promised he wouldn't follow. He's hurting all of us – including his own supporters and even Republicans in Congress – by padding the pockets of his billionaire friends instead of protecting working people.
What happens next:
Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act's climate and clean energy programs will require Congress to pass new legislation. And with the margins in the House and Senate being so slim, every ounce of pressure that we can put on our federal representatives to keep these programs intact will make a difference. After all, they are supposed to represent us, not the corporate polluters who want to kill clean energy!
Over the next few weeks and months, Congress will debate Trump’s plan to pay for his tax cuts for billionaires and fossil fuel corporations by gutting clean energy and climate programs. Now is the time to stop his dangerous and reckless plan. |
