🛢️In 2024, Trump told Big Oil execs he'd protect their interests if they spent $1 BILLION to elect him. Now, he's upheld his end of the deal. New @SenateBudget report details how Trump gave Fossil Fuel companies a $3.5 BILLION *annual* tax cut to continue polluting our planet.

The Biden Administration is thankfully reinstating mercury pollution standards for coal plants after Trump threw them out. This great video featuring @SierraClub's @hollybendermsn masterfully breaks down why that's essential for our families, communities & future - check it out:

Each year, pollution from the Waukegan coal plant contributes to 18 deaths & 118 asthma attacks. We need to stop sacrificing #EJcommunities and transition Illinois away from dirty fossil fuels by 2030. Tell your legislator #CEJACantWait: sc.org/CEJAPetition

THREAD! A new Sierra Club economic analysis shows that @DukeEnergy’s aging, polluting coal plants are costing customers billions of dollars & harming our public health at the same time. sc.org/2QrKQrc
In KS & MO, Evergy is deciding between committing to an 80% carbon reduction by 2050 or an 85% carbon reduction by 2035. The 2035 plan also results in cleaner, less expensive energy. Seems like an obvious choice. Let @evergypower know which plan makes more sense to you!
